Yeah, I forgot to mention that one.  Why is "-lc" included anyway?  I have 
never seen a C compiler that "forgot" to link against its own libc.  
Moving "-lc" to the end should work as well, I guess.

*cough* _Binary_ edit?  You wanna be careful with that.  I recall crashing 
Solaris 2.4 (okay so it was a looong time ago) with a patched "man" (I 
wanted it to call "nroff" with -u1, not -u0).
