SUNWonld - link-editors development package.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The SUNWonld package is an internal development package containing the
  link-editors and some related tools.  All components live in the OSNET
  source base, but not all components are delivered as part of the normal
  OSNET consolidation.  The intent of this package is to provide access
  to new features/bugfixes before they become generally available.

  General link-editor information can be found:

    http://linkers.central/
    http://linkers.sfbay/       (also known as linkers.eng)

  Comments and Questions:

    Contact Rod Evans, Ali Bahrami, and/or Seizo Sakurai.

  Warnings:

    The postremove script for this package employs /usr/sbin/static/mv,
    and thus, besides the common core dependencies, this package also
    has a dependency on the SUNWsutl package.

  Patches:

    If the patch has been made official, you'll find it in:

        http://sunsolve.east/cgi/show.pl?target=patches/os-patches

    If it hasn't been released, the patch will be in:

        /net/sunsoftpatch/patches/temporary

    Note, any patches logged here refer to the temporary ("T") name, as we
    never know when they're made official, and although we try to keep all
    patch information up-to-date the real status of any patch can be
    determined from:

        http://sunsoftpatch.eng

    If it has been obsoleted, the patch will be in:
    
        /net/on${RELEASE}-patch/on${RELEASE}/patches/${MACH}/obsolete


  History:

    Note, starting after Solaris 10, letter codes in parenthesis may
    be found following the bug synopsis. Their meanings are as follows:

        (D) A documentation change accompanies the implementation change.
        (P) A packaging change accompanies the implementation change.

    In all cases, see the implementation bug report for details.

    The following bug fixes exist in the OSNET consolidation workspace
    from which this package is created:
