While make-ing Larry Wall's patch package (thanks, Larry!) on my 3B1,
ld complained that _assert.o was missing.  Sure enough, <assert.h>
references _assert, but _assert.o is not in /lib/libc.a (assert.o
is in there).  Nor is _assert referenced in /lib/shlib.ifile.

I worked around by extracting assert.o (ar -x /lib/libc.a assert.o),
renaming it to _assert.o, and updating the Makefile to link it into
patch.  I also added _assert.o to the archive (using ar -q) in case
other routines might want to use assert, but I haven't decided what to
do about the shared libraries yet.

Somebody please tell me what I'm missing here!??!

BTW, I'm running 3.5.1.4.
