My first attempt to use 3.0e's gcc (Greenhill's, not gnu) is with a
simple terminal emulator using curses.  Compiling with 
	gcc {,-g,-ga} {-OLM,} foo.c -lcurses -lc_s -o foo
produces a bad program.  After some trivial ioctl(TCSETA)'s, it calls
initscr(3X), which seems to call an internal routine (or something
sdb can't name), and then suffers a "Segmentation Violation".  Compiling
without '-lc_s' or with 'cc' instead of 'gcc' produces something which
works fine.  (Of course, the code is quite portable and passes lint.)

Does the gcc in Microport 3.0e understand shared libraries?
