why static moncontrol() in sparc-solaris gmon.o?

[Mikael Pettersson]

I just discovered that egcs-1.1b (and perhaps earlier egcs releases
too) don't export "void moncontrol(int)" from gmon.o, when
built for a sparc-solaris2 host.  This is unfortunate, since right
now I need to be able to suspend and resume collection of profiling
data around certain code regions.

I note that gcc 2.7.2.3 and 2.8.1 both export this symbol, so
some egcs developer must have decided to hide it.  Why?

As moncontrol() is geuinely useful, I suggest making it
visible again.  Trivial patch follows.
