   According to /NextDeveloper/Makefile/app/app.make one wants to
put in one's Makefile.postamble the following line...

      APP_STRIP_OPTS = $(DYLD_APP_STRIP_OPTS)

It does "strip -A -n".  I put this into an application that
dynamically loads a bundle and also uses rld() directly, and it seems
to work fine.  I have not tried it on a DBKit based application.

   For my one and only DBKit app, I've put the following in my
Makefile.preamble...

     LDFLAGS = -u libdbkit_s -u libNeXT_s -u libsys_s

That magic was in the PreRelease notes on the DBKit.   I don't know
where it is in the final release.

   But watch out!  The makefiles are considerably changed between
the PreRelease and the final.   I don't know if the above magic is
still valid since I've not re-compiled my DBKit app since PreRelease days.
