I just got a NeXT box for a couple of days, and the first thing I built was
bash (of course ;-).  When trying to use private versions of functions in
libsys_s.a, this error results:

>variables.o definition of _getenv in section (__TEXT,__text)
>/lib/libsys_s.a(getenv.o) definition of absolute _getenv (value 0x50025d0)

Is there a switch to cc or ld that will allow you to use a private version
of a library function?

Chet

P.S.  By the way, what's jsh?  Is it the BRL sh, or Arnold Robbins's mods
      to the original 4.2 BSD /bin/sh?  Or something completely different?
