In a recent posting, I asked about missing lib routines.

Thanks to Robert Hall for email suggesting that these routines
are assembly files found in libc.a.  I looked there, and found
most of them.  Unfortunately, only two of these routines (cmi4.s
and return.s) are in assembler source code form.  The rest are
in object form only and contain non-ascii stuff.  Some
routines (unget.s memmove.s strcoll.s and strxfrm.s) are not
in the PH 1.3 distribution at all.  I checked the libsrc.a.Z
file from my PH 1.3 distribution, and can find no source for
these routines there either.

Thanks to David Lawyer and Glen Overby for the info that some of these
are compiler specific routines for which no source code is available,
and some are machine specific support routines.

I've made a guess at which of my missing routines are compiler specific
and which are machine specific.  Could a minix wizard please confirm
or correct this?

From their names alone, the following don't sound like compiler specific
routines:

_dup.s         brksize.s      catchsig.s     getutil.s      sendrec.s
setjmp.s       strhp.s        unknown.s      vars.s         unget.s
memmove.s      strcoll.s      strxfrm.s

I am unable to find source code for any of these.  I don't find even
object versions of unget.s, memmove.s, strcoll.s, or strxform.s in
my PH 1.3 distribution.  Is source for these routines available?
If so, where?  If not, what now?  Assuming source is available, it
goes in a directory something like /lib/i8088 in the official MINIX
directory tree, right?

From their names alone, the following sound as if they might be compiler
specific:

adi.s	       and.s	     blm.s	    cii.s	   cmi4.s
cms.s	       cmu4.s	     com.s	    csa2.s	   csb2.s
cuu.s	       dvi4.s	     dvu4.s	    exg.s	   fakfp.s
fat.s	       gto.s	     iaar.s	    ilar.s	   inn.s
ior.s	       isar.s	     lar2.s	    lfr6.s	   lfr8.s
loi.s	       mli4.s	     mon.s	    nop.s	   rck.s
ret6.s	       ret8.s	     retarea.s	    return.s	   rmi4.s
rmu4.s	       sar2.s	     sbi.s	    set.s	   sti.s
stop.s	       trp.s	     xor.s

I should just use the object versions from my PH 1.3 libc.a file, right?
