Hi Russ.

Thanks for this.  You are probably right, but it's always good to
test against as many compilers as possible.

Out of curiousity, why is linking against the system libraries so
hard?  I assume a port of kenc to Linux would have a driver program
that would just invoke the system ld(1).  I'd think that getting
the ABI and generation of ELF (or of standard Linux assembly language)
correct would be the hard part.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Arnold
