This patch is required for pbc_merge on some platforms (HP-UX is the
one that I see it on), particularly when creating tcllib.
Same problem on Win32, but this patch doesn't solve it with MinGW.
Now a stupid question, why pbc_merge is a big/fat executable and not a Perl
script or better a PIR program ?
François Perrad.
pbc_merge calls dynamically loaded pmc code which needs access to
symbols in the executable, such as const_string.
Cheers,
Nick
