libinterp.a has no table of contents

[sam]

Hello,

I'm going through acme-sac to understand how the inferno sac was
created. To that end I started by doing something simple to check my
understanding - changing the title bar name on the window - and
recompiling. I can't recompile emu for 386 MacOSX, though, due to a
loader error for libinterp.a:

% cd /sys/macosx

Is there something else I need to do to get libinterp.a in order?

Problem solved - had to add -s to arflags in /sys/MacOSX/386/profile.
It was a good exercise in figuring out how the compilation profiles
work. Neat stuff.
