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?

	It was stripped by mistake.  If you talk to TAC they will give you
a patch.

Sounds like somebody tried to save space on your system by stripping
all binaries, but forgot to exclude /usr/lib.  If you reinstall the
dev product you should get an unstripped fixade.o

By the way, if you are compiling with -mips2, and use malloc/calloc for
data with doubles in it, use -lmalloc also.  The libc malloc bogusly
returns memory that is only word (4 byte) aligned, not 8 byte.  That
never showed up until the true 64 bit loads and stores on the r4k
systems.
