varsyms? Are these like conditional symlinks? Reminds me of DYNIX (an old Unix), where the universe() system call would set the system to either a BSD or System V mode depending on whether it was called as universe(UCB) or universe(ATT), by use of conditional symlinks. Cool stuff.

If we are going to support multiple compilers the chances of a single set of crt* files actually working with all of them is diminishingly small. We could create varsyms in /usr/lib based on $CCVER which point to the correct crt* files. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[email protected]>
