I just built GS 2.5 (as retrieved from gatekeeper.dec.com) on my SPARC 2
running SunOS 4.1.2.  Had problems using acc, but compiled fine with gcc.

Runs great in the build directory, but if I invoke the gs executable from
anywhere else (up one, down one, copy it to /tmp, anything) then it bombs
with the following:

Initializing...
Unexpected interpreter error -9!

Any ideas?  I've been using the golfer.ps file to test.  That is, when
connected to where I built it,

	./gs golfer.ps

works, but from there

	mkdir a; cd a; ../gs ../golfer.ps

dies as above.
