Re: Compiling for a.out

	Yes.

	Apparently the a.out linker does not like getting
	multiple instances of similarly named library objects.

	You can "fix" it by placeing  "#if 0" and "endif"
	around libc/getopt.c -source...

	... However doing so will very likely break zmailer
	router, which uses this special getopt to be able to
	restart the scan of the builtin functions input
	parameters by simple means.

	Which compiler, and linker versions do you have ?
	Perhaps upgradeing the linker would do it ?
