This procedure is also useful for the routines in /lib/libx.a (the
Xenix library).  Libx includes a version of opendir/readdir/closedir
incompatible with the standard C library and <dirent.h>.  However, I
want to use chsize(), nap() and rdchk().  So extracted those objects,
put them in /u/local/lib/libxenix.a, and link with -lxenix.  Presto.
