- Hmm... are you doing this under 1.3?? I think ar/ranlib might do an
- ftruncate() somewhere, and if you run them on a real old filesystem,
- ftruncate() is not implemented by the FS, and then the functions fail. Note,
- this doesn't mean it won't run under 1.3, you'd just have to switch to a
- newer FS.
-
- The above were guesses, if you want to know for sure, load ixemul.trace
- instead of ixemul.library (see the README in the usr:bin directory), and
- run the tracer while you execute one of the above commands. You should
- then see exactly which command really fails.
