Compiles don't have to be done SysV--in fact, we gcc most things. But the final link must be SysV so /usr/5lib/libc.a correctly resolves symbols.

Inside a low level routine, an Oracle subroutine checks the return from sprintf, which returns an int under SysV and a char pointer under BSD, hence the segmentation fault.

Some of our Makefiles are set up like this:

     CC       = gcc
     LD       = /usr/5bin/cc
     LDFLAGS  = $O $(INCLUDES) -L/usr/5lib

If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, make sure /usr/5lib is before /usr/lib.
