Synopsis: Can't build a.out binaries

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed

State-Changed-When: Fri Jul 28 18:32:17 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
You aren't quite understanding the binary creation process.  ``cc -aout''
works in that it generates an a.out object module.  In order to create an
a.out binary (as with an ELF binary), you need to have the crtX.o and libc,
etc. as a.out versions also.  A.out versions of CSU and standard libraries
do not come with FreBSD by default.  You need to build an a.out crt0.o using
``cc -aout'' first along with any libraries you will need.
