23:08:19 <richlowe> alanc: if I remember how re-configuring sunos worked, it was not much more than a frontend to the linker in practice
23:08:42 <richlowe> or did you have it actual produce the object with the globals in it, rather than something bespoke spitting out a .o?
23:10:44 <richlowe> I remember having to add tcp/ip to osf/1, but not ever doing anything to sunos that has stuck until now
23:11:04 <richlowe> so whatever it was, it presumably sucked less than the dec/osf config process :)
