We're running into a lot more problems than I'd hoped for.  I'm
becoming embarassed.  The best redeeming action is fix the problems
with all possible alacrity; I'll try my best.  I do really think we're
getting close.  I appreciate your testing.

As soon as you get a test-case, I'll take a look at this.  It's fine
even it's big, as long as you can point at the exact place that goes
wrong; I'd really like to get this work behind me, and get everything
back to a more stable state.  've compiled *millions* of lines of code
on IRIX6 with the new linker without a problem; obviously the
relocation patterns are very different from the N32/N64 ABI to the
older ABIs.
