SunOS4 has on_exit. Can we change atexit to on_exit?

It doesn't work. Probably that is for GNU ld? On sparc platforms, we
usually do not use GNU ld (I don't remember the reason
though). However
$(LD) -assert pure-text -Bdynamic
works.

$(LD) -assert pure-text -Bdynamic (eliminating -dc -dp) works with -L
../libpq -lpq. But is it safe? Can we live without -dc -dp? SunOS4
guru anywhere?
