   A problem I have with installing ATK (PL6) on a Sun4:

   Compiling with cc without optimizer option completes without any
   problems. But starting an application brings up the following error
   message:

   illegal instruction (core dumped).

Compile the whole thing statically (with the -Bstatic flag) (or get a
list of the applications that use dynamic loading, and compile them
statically.  Anybody have such a list?)

Why doesn't the documentation mention that this is necessary?  Is
there something odd about my case, such that it works for most people
without compiling statically?
