Comment(by drkirkby):
I've had a look at the source code for cliquer - it clearly is not
upstream source as Leif noticed.
Also, the Sage-specific coding is very dubious - endless calls to
{{{malloc}}} without bothering to check if the allocation failed or not. I
had this distant memory when I learned C that one was supposed to check if
calls to {{{malloc}}} failed, but perhaps dementia has set in and I'm
mistaken. Either that, or the programmer is demented.
Adding {{{-ztext}}} with the Sun linker stops the build when there are
text relocations against read only segments, so it makes testing a bit
easier, as one does not need to actually run {{{elfdump}}} on the library.
