Welcome to digital unix - it sucks, and the linker sucks worse.
It sucks, but it doesn't suck that badly. X11/CDE/dxjim on it is
wildly unstable[1] compared to XFree86, kinput2 and Linux, but stuff
only crashes about once a week, so that's not too bad, I suppose.
Ordering is very important on the link line. Try manually editing
the
Makefile and stick -lc at the end of the LDFLAGS or whatever macro they
use.
I manually deleted the `-lc' and it linked. Now, it just doesn't pass
the self checks. :-(
$ grep FAIL typescript

Unfortunately, I _only_ have direct access to a DEC Alpha at this
time, so I'm not going to be able to personally test mailcrypt until
this program gets ported to OSF.
If anyone can point me to leads to getting this bloody program running
on BSDI, we'll resume PGP signing tarballs. Being able to test things
myself can wait.

different matter.
