+/* Some linkers warn if a library isn't used to resolve any symbol, so
+   we include this useless function in libansi.a and use it from
+   main() of all programs that may need to link with libansi.a.
+
+   A historic note: Some systems complain if a library is empty.  This
+   file was initially created as an empty C file, just so that we
+   always had an object file to include in libansi.a.  But then, some
+   system complained when a file contained nothing, so we added an
+   external variable.  Then we found the warnings from the linker, and
+   added linkansi(). */
