I'm trying to track down a bus error on a code being ported to a R4000 SGI Crimson.
Per the documentation fixade(3f) and unaligned(3x), I'm trying to
link in /usr/lib/fixade.o which will catch and provide documentation
on alignment errors in the code.  The problem is that I cant link it
in!!  When I try, the compiler/linker complains:

/usr/bin/ld:
No symbolic information for: /usr/lib/fixade.o

Running nm on the file also gives:
nm: Error: no symbol table in /usr/lib/fixade.o

But 'file /usr/lib/fixade.o' returns the information
/usr/lib/fixade.o:      mipseb executable stripped (R4000 fpdiv unchecked) - version 3.10

What needs to be done to link this code in?
