On a Sun 3, SunOs 4.1.1, compiling with the bundled cc produces an
executable that dies with a segmentation fault on the return from
setup_sideruler().  The Sun 4 executable produced with cc runs
quite happily, as does a Sun 3 executable produced with gcc.
I haven't tried compiling it with cc and no optimisation yet - it
may be the same bug that kills ghostscript if you use cc with
optimisation turned on.
