Hi,

If it is changed to ".section", any SunOS 4.1.x -based (pre-1992) system
will fail to compile it.

I am guessing here (not a programmer), but as the ".seg" pseudo-op was a
SunOS 4.1.x construct, you could probably check for a 5.x version of
SunOS, and in which case, set the lines to ".section". I am not sure
what the appropriate #ifdef lines should look like, but will try to find
out for you.
