    Several people have written to say that in order to get magic to
    compile on more recent Linux versions (Debian, SuSE, etc.), they
    had to get rid of the "-lbsd" link added to the GR_LIBS definition
    for linking into the libgraphics.o library.  I took out the
    switch on my RedHat system, where the switch has never caused any
    problems before, and I still got a clean compile.  Does anyone
    know of any Linux system which will fail to compile without that
    "-lbsd" switch?  If not, we should remove it.
       On my RedHat system, the only contents of /usr/lib/libbsd.a
    are the routines "getpgrp" and "setpgrp" which are not used by
    magic.
