    Problem Text
    This test may fail because it violates the requirement that all
    options in a c89 command must appear before any operands.

    Test #8
    uses the following commands:

    c89 file.c -g -o file1-1.out -D FOO
    c89 file.c -D FOO -o file1-2.out -g
    c89 file.c -g -D FOO -o file1-3.out

    c89 file.c -o file2-1.out -s -U FOO
    c89 file.c -o file2-2.out -U FOO -s
    c89 file.c -s -o file2-3.out -U FOO

    In each of these commands, file.c is the first operand but it appears
    prior to options such as -g or -o.

    Test #62 builds a command string at execution time of the form:

    c89 test_file.c -L test_dir1 -l test1 ... -L test_dir10 -l test10

    In this case, the options ("-L test_dir1", "-L test_dir2", etc.)
    appear after operands ("test_file.c", "-l test1", ,etc.).

    The Commands and Utilties document states that c89 supports the XBD
    specification, section 10.2, "Utility Syntax Guidelines". Guideline 9
    of this section states that all options should precede operands on the
    command line. The commands these tests use do not comply with this
    guideline of the the XPG4 standard and therefore should be changed.
