I just checked it on

  - hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
  - m68k-motorola-sysv
  - m88k-motorola-sysv3
  - sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
  - sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4

and didn't observe any problem!

There is only one minor thing: when you're using a recent egcs
snapshot for compiling and checking binutils, you're getting three
unnecessary faults in ld due to egcs being more picky than other
compilers (including egcs-1.0.2 and gcc-2.8.1):

cdtest-foo.h:14: warning: ANSI C++ forbids initialization of const member `len'
cdtest-foo.h:14: warning: making `len' static

Applying the patch below makes these failures go away.

	* ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h (class Foo): Declare len to be static to
	avoid compiler warning.
	* ld-srec/sr3.cc (class Foo): Likewise.
