lint question

I've created my own lint library. In it are math functions and string
functions.

However, when writing a program that only uses the string functions,
lint complains that various trig functions aren't defined because
I haven't included the math library.

How do I explain to lint... "I'm sorry dear, I'm not using the math functions
in the library, so I don't need to include it... and you shouldn't complain
about it"?

I've checked the man page, and the Nutshell "Lint" handbook (possibly an older
edition, I've had it a while)... and I still don't have a clue.

I have included /*LINTLIBRARY*/ in both the math and string modules that
make up the library.

I had this library on an HP (HPUX 7.0 / HP9000/370) and don't ever remember
having this problem, I'm moving it to a Sun (SunOS 4.1/ SS1+) now. Could that
be it?
