Hmm.  I wonder if assembling root.a myself will result in a relocatable 
file that will make view happy.  I'm getting some unresolved references 
using Gene's copy of root.r.  One of them is a reference in root.r to 
F$EXIT.  That's just an ordinary system call, no?  I'll have to try 
making the stuff in the SOURCES directory tomorrow.
