Subject: 386BSD: recompile of libc.a stderr failure

I've been attempting to recompile libc.a and have not been able to get
a clean build out of it. The most notable problem is that stderr does
not work with the new libc --
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
main()
{
int n;
n = fprintf(stderr, "foo\n");
if(n<0)
printf("n=%d errno=%d\n", n, errno);
}
results in
n=-1 errno=9
I haven't checked to see what is really going on, but two make clean/make
passes on libc both resulted in the same problem. Does anyone else have
this problem?
