Where does the standard C library live on the NeXT?  I don't have
a /usr/lib/libc.a and yet my programs compile.  Some configuration
scripts get confused when they can't find this file.

Also, does the std c lib include the RPC library functions (librpc.a)
as I believe is the case on a SUN?

Thanks,

/lib/libsys_s.a

Some configuration scripts get *very* confused on NeXTs for a
number of reasons.  Reading #include files without preprocessing
them first loses because the __STRICT_BSD__/__STRICT_ANSI__
conditionals aren't respected.  Things are worse in 3.0 with
the "improved" (NOT!) reorganization.  Looking for .o files
rather than specific procedures loses, since some entry points
are in different modules from most BSD systems (something that
programs don't care about).  Then there are the problems with
traditional vs. ANSI preprocessing.  Configure is a great idea,
but there are quite a few truly dreadful Configure scripts out
there.  I'm much happier with the approach nn takes, with its
matrix of architecture and OS dependencies.

Yes.
