I don't see the problem here... Cant you just set _mneed as described in
the manual???

In fact I'm writing after trying out the latest version of lattice 3.04
Its very strange indeed. Most of the old lattice bugs have been fixed
 (20 file bug, redirection problem, malloc etc) and the debugger is
very usable (macros already!)

But I find that very often the linker crashes out !!
Its not consistent either sometimes a bus, sometimes an address error.
But the resultant prog is invariably ok!
Trying a link with the old linker reports an "internal phase error"
Very puzzling. Anybody come across this?
