yes.  I should have mentioned that.  The mac68k machine is NetBSD-1.3

thats what I thought.  The pmax is NetBSD-1.3.2. 

but I guess, back to the original question, that in terms of leading
underscores, the thing to do is something like:

#if defined(__ELF__) || defined(mips)
#define ENTRY_NAME "myfunction"
#else
#define ENTRY_NAME "_myfunction"
#endif

or something like that.  The ||defined(mips) takes care of broken(?) pmax
machines that don't define __ELF__

Sound right to you?
