When compiling awenv programs on SGI, the linker will give the following
warnings:
ld: WARNING 85: definition of vendorShellWidgetClass in /usr/lib/libXaw.so
preempts that definition in /usr/lib/libXt.so.
ld: WARNING 85: definition of vendorShellClassRec in /usr/lib/libXaw.so
preempts that definition in /usr/lib/libXt.so.
These warnings are caused by (intentional) overriding of the X Toolkit
VendorShell in the SGI athena libraries. The warnings can be safely ignored.
