[GRASS5] XDRLIB make variable

[Justin Hickey]

Hello all

XDRLIB is used as a member of a LIBES variable definition in several
Gmakefiles. Then LIBES is used as a target and this can cause some problems on
SGI machines. The XDRLIB variable is defined as -lsun on an SGI. Thus, it does
not make sense to have -lsun as a target. What I would like to know is whether
or not XDRLIB is defined similarly on other platforms? That is, is the XDRLIB
variable -l<something> on most platforms, or can it be a path to a library
which the Gmakefile can recompile (similar to other grass libraries like
GISLIB)? If XDRLIB is always something like -lsun then it should not appear as
a target and should be removed from the LIBES variable definition. To check
this simply look in the file src/CMD/head/head.

Any information will be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.
