Regarding the problem of having the linker always pick the pascal open
rather then the unix system call open, try explicitly including libc.a
on the compile line, e.g.,
  pc prog.p -lc

This will cause libc.a to be searched *before* libpc.a by generating
the following ld line:

  /bin/ld /lib/crt0.o prog.o -lc -x -lpc -lm -lc

Note that libc.a is on the command line twice, the second reference
will statisfy libpc.a calls to unix and C.
