Convex defines the nlist struct somewhat differently than Sun or Stellar
(I'm not familiar with other Unix dialects):
struct nlist {
union {
char *n_name; /* for use when in core */
long n_strx; /* index into string table */
} n_un; /* union for name and string index */
unsigned char n_type; /* type flag, see below */
char n_other; /* unused */
short n_desc; /* see <stab.h> */
unsigned long n_value; /* value of symbol (or sdb offset) */
};
The compiler complains about the use of n_name when compiling load.c, so I
changed load.c to reflect this for the Convex. If this is a feature of more
than just Convex's environment a more general test is in order.
