First, rindex must be defined as strrchr. (I believe that the artificially intelligent configuration script automatically defines index as strchr for USG systems, but it misses rindex.) Second, define rindex (alias strrchr) as being of type char *. Finally, the configuration script decided that my compiler was smart about handling pointers to functions but I found it necessary to tell it that it's dumb (can only handle arrays of pointers to functions). Otherwise compiler errors appeared. I also had to uncomment the stuff in the 7300 makefile that creates assert.o. As I recall there were comments in the makefile about how this is not necessary because _assert has been added to the shared library. This is news to me. Where does that fix come from?
