There is another error in the 7300's SGS (Software Generation System),
and that is that the C support routines inhabit the same name space that
user defined external symbols use.  Thus, a user defining a name like
`ldiv' for instance, will cause untold confusion when the linker
resolves references to the user's name rather than the library's
routine.  Fortunately, the linker will complain (in many? most? some?
cases) that the name is multiply defined.  I found out the hard way....
