Some applications we have here need to be linked in from library
routines from both the att and ucb universe.  We've whipped up a 
kludge that works for now - we explicitly link in /lib/libc.a and then 
/usr/att/lib/libc.a.  This works, but the DYNIX SVAE Summary says 
not to do this sort of thing.  Is there an approved way to use library
routines from both worlds in one application?  We may have to leave it 
as it is, but we don't feel comfortable with this solution, since it may
not work with future OS releases (at least that is what the warning in 
the SVAE manual leads us to think).  If it were just us recompiling
something that breaks that wouldn't be that bad, but this is for 
software we release to the world (the SR distributed programming
language).  Thanks for any help!
