881.0. "the libc.a in the tools directory" by SMURF::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed Aug 10 1994 22:16

Subj: 	the libc.a in the tools directory
The file: 	

/usr/sde/osf1/build/goldminos.nightly/tools/alpha_OSF1/alpha/acc/usr/ccs/lib/libc.a

is COMPLETE TOAST!

Why is there a libc.a in the tools directory?  For some reason it's
an old lib that started August 5 of last year.  It's not a linkable
libc.

It really screws things up when doing 'cc' in a sandbox environment.  I
just spent a bunch of debugging time uncovering this as the cause.

Please remove this file.

This used to be delivered with the kit. Since we overlay new ones on top
the old libc never went away.

Will do. Might take a while to propagate.
