-ldl problem on Sun platform

[Giao Thanh Nguyen <gnguyen@CS.Berkeley.EDU>]

If you really want to make a static ns binary on the sun, you just have
to make a "dummy" dl library.  I'm attaching the dl.c and a Makefile for
building this.

Giao
OBJ	= dl.o


libdl.a: $(OBJ)
	gar rc libdl.a $(OBJ)
	ranlib libdl.a

clean:
	rm libdl.a $OBJ
/*
It's a common error, seen on Solaris and SunOS.  One bit of info is
the following paragraph from /usr/sww/doc/faq/X11.faq:
--star--
Subject: 114)  Why doesn't my Sun with SunOS 4.1 know about _dlsym, etc.?

	If you get errors with _dlsym _dlopen _dlclose undefined, link with 
libdl.a.  Add "-ldl" to your and eventually to your site.def.  You may want to 
surround it with "-Bstatic -ldl -Bdynamic" if you add it to the EXTRA_LIBRARIES
variable, since "syslibs" get added after EXTRA_LIBRARIES on the eventual 
compilation command; otherwise you may not have a shared libdl.  (Or compile 
the stubs shared.)
--end--

This file provides some basic stubs for the dl functions:
