Hmm, considering the above post and Geoff Keating's previous remarks
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-06/msg00413.html) about
requiring zeros, I can't see how we can implement a correct solution
in binutils. It seems to me that this is a gcc bug, and we shouldn't
be tweaking binutils at all.
