4736 - The sccs and rcs id strings are optimized away by the compiler.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect, P3)

Description

[Wan-Teh Chang]

The sccs and rcs id strings we embed in
our libraries are static variables with
no references to them.  The IRIX cc compiler
optimizes away these unused variables, and
hence the 'what' and 'ident' commands can't
find any NSPR version strings in our libraries
on IRIX.

The fix is to add dummy references to the
sccs and rcs id strings in the same files.
