Description Thierry Thomas 2003-08-13 15:10:06 UTC 
	Noticed by Kris on Bento: cad/metis-edf is broken on Apha.

	Actually, it builds, then there is a `make test', it eats all the
	CPU and never launches: there is a kind of loop in
	/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1.

	This problem has been solved by replacing $LD by $CC (with the flag
	verbose to check that everything is OK).

	After that, there was another problem due to the usage of int in the
	FORTRAN subprograms and long in the C functions.

	Remark: this program is also broken on other 64 bits platforms; this
	PR has been tested on i386 & alpha, but if we are lucky, it might
	unbreak everywhere...

	Credits:
	- thanks to Oliver Lehmann for an access to his Alpha machine;
	- thanks to Marcel Moolenaar on freebsd-alpha list for the LD trick.

Fix: Please apply the following patch.

	Remark: one new file, patch-Lib::proto.h.
How-To-Repeat: 	See the logs on Bento, e.g.
