Re: fix for startup of AClock

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi Fred,

I cleaned up some of the old apps that way, but only recently discovered 
that the apps do not start up at all if written that way. Sebastian 
essentially confirms this.

Even if the fix is quite simple, I don't understand why it broke. It 
doesn't work for me on plain 32biit x86 and sparc on linux or NetBSD 
iwth the gcc runtime. Thus it is not at all libobjc2 or clang.
