In comp.sys.sun there were two postings concerning the static version of
libc.a in SunOS 4.0 on Sun 3. Mark Mendell <mendell@turing.toronto.edu> writes

   This brings up the first minor problem.  When the static library for 4.0
   export was made, they messed up the following routines:
  
       des_crypt.o
       des_soft.o
      _crypt.o
      auth_des.o
      svcauth_des.o
  
   They are obviously completely linked, as the are about 24K in size, and
   define _end, _edata, and _etext.  This means the -Bstatic won't work until
   these routines are removed from the library and it is ranlib-ed.
  
   A related problem is that the 'newkey' program will fail at runtime with a
   message that the routine '_cbc_crypt' cannot be found.
  
   I assume that the problems are both due to export restrictions.

Kevin J. Maciunas <munnari!cs.flinders.oz.au!kevin@uunet.uu.net>
stated the same.

Clearing the LDFLAGS results in the default -Bdynamic ld-Option so that
temacs will not be able to dump itself correctly.
