[comp.soft-sys.andrew] problem linking ATK with Oracle...

My guess is that my problem is an oracle bug, but nsb said that he
remembered seeing something similar on the net at one time, so here
goes...

I have an application that uses the Oracle relational database system
and also uses ATK for a front end.  Recently we upgraded from V5 Oracle
to V6.  At the same time we upgraded to the latest release of X and
Andrew.  Now when I try to link everything together (either by making
multiple calls to ld and then calling makedo or by calling makedo with
my object and all the necessary libraries) I get an error of an
undefined symbol "uname".  I called Oracle and they told me that Oracle
V6 is System5 cc-compatible and that I should include a System5 libc.a
at the end of my list of libraries.  I make the change and then dofix
gives me an undefined symbol of "end".  Using the System5 c compiler
produces the same result.  Does this sound vaguely familiar to anyone? 
Is it possible that the problem lies in the Oracle libs which were
undoubtedly compiled with Sys5 cc?  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
