I'm having trouble establishing a libC_p.a on a Sun under SunOS3.4.

I always get multiple link references to 'exit' -- it appears to pull the
reference from /lib/libc_p.a as well as /lib/libC_p.a.

In order to fix this, and to make the C++ exit processing be in line with
the rest of the Sun OS exit processing, I was going to change libC to use
the Sun 'on_exit' routine to install an exit handler. This will eliminate
the 'exit' symbol from libC.a, solve my problem.

So, Questions:
	1) has anyone done this? If so, any problems? Care to post your
	   solution?

	2) do people want this if I do it?

	3) is there some way to get CC to use _p libraries instead of
	   the standard libraries? From a cursory glance, it doesn't
	   seem to use them (could well be mistaken here)
