Has anyone managed to actually build libIV.a with SCO UN*X ?  Or more
specifically, am I missing an obvious workaround that allows SCO's
ld/ar suite to deal with the size of the external symbol table of
libIV.a ?  SCO seems to have hard-coded the table size, and it is too
small for InterViews.  I would love to hear from anyone who has managed
to cope with this without splitting libIV.a into 2 files ... (which I
guess would work, come to think of it, albeit clumsily).

(I did try the GNU ld ... 1.9 can't convert libc.a to COFF encapsulation
[robotussin out of memory], 1.94-b supports SCO nominally but doesn't
support i386-sco-sysv in the ld configuration yet it seems ... )

Thanks in advance for any hints/advice ...
Tim
