I'm trying to build X11R5fix12 on a Sun3 under SunOS4.1 using gcc2.1
The patch to allow gcc compilation of the shared libs that came with
gcc has been applied since it didn't conflict with any later official fixes.

Everything runs fine until building the shared libraries fails with lots of
messages of the form:

Context.o: ld: assert pure-text failed: reference to [offset] at 2d8 in Context.o

...

Quarks.o: word displacement overflow at text+0x376

...

XwcTextPrp.o: no of reloc used 4491 != no alloc 5300
*** Error code 4

It works fine on Sun4 SunOS4.1.2.  Any clues as to if this is a installation bodge or
a bug, either in gcc or X11R5, gratefully received.

Cheers,
