This raises some question for me.
I've tried to get collect to compile on a SUN 3 running SUNOS 4.1.1.
but there are some missing defines (I've forgotten the exact difficulty,
I gave up and used gnu-ld from the binutils distribution. I can 
recreate the problem if anyone is interested). Is this a compatibility
problem with SUNOS 4.1.1, or is a problem with the SUN 3 configuration
(I configured with sun3-os4)?

Finally, if you do have collect running does it pose any problems?
What do the cryptic comments about collect not doing
constructors/destructors justice in the Makefile mean?

It would be quite useful to be able to compile groff and
interviews with shared libraries.

Thanks,

Eric
