Regarding the nap call from -lx, can someone tell me how it works? Is
it a busy wait or is there something actually useful there that
suspends the program? and don't forget everyone. IF YOU USE -lx MAKE
SURE YOU USE IT IN THE FORM OF -lc -lx so that everything that needs
to be satisfied from -lc is loaded from there first! Unless of course
you want to cross link a binary for a Xenix platform...
