Compiling Ident strings into executable

#50829

We are using gcc to compile libraries on SunOs 4.1.3, with gcc 2.4.3.

We can use the RCS Id facility to attach a version to each source
file, but we also attach an Id in a separate ??ver.c file, along
the lines of 

static char *pszVersion = "$MYID=[flying pigs module]$";

Unfortunatly, the linker realises that ??ver.o is not required to 
produce the final executable, and does not link it in. Is there any
way to force the linking to happen ?  The only solution that I have
come up with is just to append the neat text of the versions to the 
end of the executable, and hope for the best ( ie that it won't
damage the software ). 


Any help appreciated,

Chris
