I've just upgraded to SunOS 4.1 and found that ld -u no longer works as it
previously did:

If you use 'ld -u  _getwd -o tmpfile -lc' , no output is generated.  In
general, if no non-library input files are specified on the commandline,
no output is created.

Work around: echo > empty.c ; cc -c empty.c ; ld empty.o -u .....

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix?
