laplace is a Sun Sparc 2, with SunOS 4.1.3. It uses f2c (not f77),
gcc, g++, gld, gas.


At the final link, when it is building octave 0.72, it says

xstopx.o(.text+b0): undefined reference to `do_stop__'

and indeed nm tells me that xstopx.o contains
00000000 t ___gnu_compiled_c
         U _abort
00000000 T _do_stop_
         U _getpid
         U _kill
00000000 t gcc2_compiled.

So I give do_stop in do_stop.c an extra underbar at the end, which now 
gives

(laplace) nm do_stop.o
00000000 t ___gnu_compiled_c
         U _abort
00000000 T _do_stop__
         U _getpid
         U _kill
00000000 t gcc2_compiled.

and it links allright.
