Hey, this sounds good for the non-US sun users.  SunOS 4.0 EXPORT, the
SunOS whcih could be exported from the US had a few differences in it. One
of the big ones were no de and crypt routines in libc.a.  I have run into
this "bug" and had to create my own "empty" routines when doing ld -A on
some stuff with sunview.  Sunview looks for these routines, altough it
doesn't need them (sometimes, anyway).

Does this make SunOS 4.1 == SunOS 4.1 EXPORT, i.e. no special export lic.
needed, and identical OS in the US and out of it?
