I said _assert, not assert.  If you look at the definition of assert() in
<assert.h>, you'll see that it calls _assert.  _assert is in /lib/libc.a;
however, it is not in shlib.ifile.  So, if you want to link a program that
uses assert with the shared library, you have to extract assert.o from 
libc.a and link that in with your program.

I was wondering if assert was in the shared library, and someone forgot to
put it into the shlib.ifile, just like what happened with the daylight symbol.
