I think that's a good idea too. Because isn't libc.a only supposed to
contain the POSIX C stuff? Unix doesn't have DPMI stubs. Actually, I have
no problem with the existing setup, except aesthetics, except it seems
that Ian now has found a good reason for separating the nonportable stuff
from the C library.
