Problem is, some programs are hard to change like that (some stuff in tetex-bin, for example, does that initialization for an extern in a library, so there isn't a main() into which to move the initialization...)
Note, also, that as far as I can tell from the X build, the *only* platform ever to have this problem is LynxOS, and that was about as marginal a Unix you could get (it's a realtime unix, just this side of the unix vs. realtime line from vxworks...) Even if there isn't a standard to back me up [if there is, then this is a bug, plain and simple] I'd still argue that it should be fixed since it's going to break so much code [as we've learned on this project...] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
