This turned ugly.  In the process it became a spokesperson for use of
ANSI string pasting, but I know that's a no-no for us.

It does allow an empty C file to assemble and link on SVR5 when using
-gdwarf-2.  Still, it "feels" wrong.  Before I continue down this path,
can you please tell me if I should perhaps go a different way?

Thanx,
