I have been trying in vain to make mkshlib(1) give me a valid library.
I understand the theory, and can get "good" target ad host libraries
out.  These will link correctly and look OK (using nm(1)).  However,
at exec(2)-time, exec kills the process (SIGKILL).  There are two
occurances in the SV/386 r3.0 kernel exec() code for psignal(9) so the
mechanism seems legit.  This happens even to my reducio-absurdum example,
so I think it has something to do with mkshlib(1).

Has *anyone* made an SV/386 shared lib work?  (AT&T apparently did, though
I know not what tricks were used.)  Can anyone give any pointers as to how
to make even my trivial example work correctly?

Thanks,
