Well, I would rename them, except I get the following error for
-every- library file gives this error:

nm: /usr/lib/libcurses.a: File format not recognized

This includes the libraries I downloaded a week or so ago from the
SpareMiNT site.  Those were dated late August, 1999.  This is the same
approximate date as "nm".

I didn't do this, but did the simple test below:

Here's the output:

/home/root# gcc -mshort -c hello.c -o hello.o 
/home/root# gcc -v hello.o -lc16 -o hello
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-atari-mint/egcs-2.91.66/specs
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
 /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-atari-mint/egcs-2.91.66/collect2 -o hello 
        /usr/local/lib/crt0.o 
        -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-atari-mint/egcs-2.91.66 
        -L/usr/local/lib hello.o -lc16 -lc
collect2: ld terminated with signal 10 [Bus Error]
/home/root#

Well, not even this simple program will link (so here's a failing command
line for you, Frank :).

Well, I'm at a loss here.  Little help, please? :/
