Has anyone out there successfully incorporated gnuemac's unexec routine
into perl using Tom Christiansen's hook (in pl38 and later) on a Sun4?

I've tried, but, apparently, I didn't hook it up right to perl.

What I tried was to pick out the sun4-specific parts of crt0.c from the
gnu code and load that first (along with unexec.o, of course) when I build
perl.  The result compiles and loads but does nothing when I use the -u
switch.

If you've done it, please tell me how!

Alternatively, if anyone has an undump that works on sun4s with perl, I'd
love to hear of it.
