Peter,

I've noticed this with compilation of other software and have never seen
this problem before Sun OS 4.1.1, but the work around is to edit the
Gmakefile in the directory where it bombed and add the -ldl in the
appropriate spot. If you find this problem with other directories,
then you may want to edit src/CMD/head/*

Can someone check the bug list for Sun OS 4.1.1 and see if this is
on there?

As far as I can tell you ... this is a 'ld' bug introduced at Sunos 4.1.2.
There should be a bug fix for that from SUN (or use the 4.1.1 ld ...).
