Actually, the aout libs I am using when I get the ___error undefined
are the ones from the XFree86-3.3.6 distribution, compiled for
FreeBSD 3.x. Originally I was using the aout X libs I built myself
when building the XFree86-3.3.6 port. Using those, I still got an
undefined symbol, but it wasn't ___error, and I don't remember
exactly what it was, just that it started with 3 underscores too.
