Or had the comment section deleted removing all the #ident strings.
Of course you need to suppress duplicate lines - which no linker
I've seen will do - because the #ident lines from header files
get included far too often.  Since 'mcs -d' was used to remove
the comment scetion, 'mcs -c' would have remoces the duplicates.
