[9fans] python won't link with type safe linker, i.e. -T

[ron minnich]

they do things like this:

foo.h:
struct x {
#ifdef ZARDOZ
int i;
#endif
int j;
};

provider.c:
int somefunc(struct x *x){
  x->j = 1;
}
a.c:
#include foo.h

struct x x;
somefunc(&x);

b.c
#define ZARDOZ
#include a.c


Yes, include a.c. I kid you not. So the type signature of the function
somefunc is different in a and b. This will all "work", with -T turned
off, but it's too clever for me.

We go for simpler things here in NM, such as a  school down south
that, having had a principal dismissed on drug charges, and gang
fights, and sundry other problems, decided to hire an image
consultant, to provide the school with a logo, a standard presentation
style for their powerpont talks, rules for usage of the logo, and a
set of other tools to help improve the school's brand recognition.
Oops, I digressed. But NM is interesting, is it not? Our own Lottery
Authority hired a lobbyist, to ensure that our legislature not enact
rules requiring that Lottery money go to schools instead of Lottery
Authority staff. Lobbyist paid for by our Lottery Authority, a part of
the same government that controls its budget, so is this re-entrancy
in government?  ... Oops, I digressed.

Working through it now .... twisty ... little ... maze. .......

if "they" were trying to reuse code - the only reason i can come up
with - "they" could have been more obvious, like:
/sys/src/games/4s.c
/sys/src/games/5s.c

might just be the "Crawford" field effect, especially if they correlate with W sightings.
