Hiho people, still tooling away with the FLEXlm stuff.

With a few hiccups I've got their demo kit to build, but a lot of the
Linux binaries I'm building get exterminated when they try to run.

I'm using the dev kit from the current Slackware (what a nightmare to 
piece together 8( ), but I can't use gdb on the programs or on the cores
that they produce.

Some of these I can get around by building the programs native, but
some of them have to be linked with the supplied Linux ELF libraries 8(

The failing applications don't actually even raise a peep from the 
Linux emulator.  Here we have 'lmgrd' (works) and 'lmclient' (fails) :

rootvegetable:/local0/gsi/flexlm/v5.0/i86_l1>file lmgrd lmclient
lmgrd:    ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
lmclient: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
rootvegetable:/local0/gsi/flexlm/v5.0/i86_l1>/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd lmgrd lmclient
lmgrd:
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.0.9
lmclient:
        statically linked (ELF)


Should I assume that this is the "what static ELF binary is this" problem?

Is anyone working on this, or should I try for a fix?  Any further 
suggestions beyond those raised in the discussions a while back?  JDP?
