ld.so doesn't check "dpkg -s `dpkg -S $LIBRARY_NAME`" when loading
$LIBRARY_NAME (that's why you can start more than one programme per
minute). David meant that we should link the xaw3d libraries with
"-lc" on the gcc command line.

At the moment, 

rulcmc:/usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw$ ldd *
        libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40058000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4006a000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x400ac000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400b5000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400ca000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400d5000)
and David (and ld.so) would be much happier if that showed:

rulcmc:/usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw$ ldd *
        libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40058000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4006a000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x400ac000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x400b5000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400ca000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400d5000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x400xx000)

That will happen when we relink the xaw libraries with "-lc"
on the gcc commandline.


I'm not sure where I'll have to put it in the xaw3d Imakefile, but
in fakeroot's Makefile, this is how it looks:

gcc -g -shared -Wl,-soname,libfakeroot.so.0 -o libfakeroot.so.0.0 libfakeroot.o
 -ldl -lc
