Should that program work? You are initializing a local
variable with the contents of an extern one. It's like this one:
---cut here---
extern int a;
int b = a;
main() {}
---cut here---
...which doesn't work on sparc, and doesn't work on i386.
In libc5 and glibc-2.0, std{in,out,err} are defined to... I
don't know what, but they aren't strictly `extern FILE *', as ANSI C
says they should be.

I think the problem is in that program. But I may be wrong...
I don't have the ANSI C specs here.
