I'm writing this little program that calls stat() to get various file
information (user, mode, etc..). However, the call always fails with
errno = 14, which is EFAULT (Bad address)... what's going on?

It's not code related... I think it's linker related because the Unisoft
compiler (which uses unshared lib's AND unshared executables: unshared.ld)
compiles and runs it fine... cc and gcc don't.

What the hell is going on? I need a *dependable* programming platform.
A/UX won't even handle a simple system call with crapping out?

And how does one tell cc NOT to use shared executables??
