Autzoo.1549 net.bugs.v7 utzoo!henry Tue Apr 13 17:58:59 1982 ld returns uncleanly The V7 ld has a nonzero exit status when undefined external symbols exist in its final output, even when the options fed to it clearly indicate that this is legitimate. This screws up several things, including use with make. Does anybody know if this "feature" really is of any use? (Note that you can test for undefined externals using nm and grep, so this obvious use is unimportant.) I would like to eliminate it by putting the exit-status "|= 01" inside the same set of if's that govern the undefined-symbols error messages.
