This is a bug in the SVR4 c compiler, which assumes (incorrectly)
that any file you're compiling with the c compiler has suffix
".c".  Your best bet is to get whoever is in charge of the
c compiler at your site to fix the compiler.  Alternatively,
you could write a post-processor to fix up the information 
yourself.  It's easiest to do this using the ".s" file, since
this will keep you from needing to learn the elf access library.
