	I believe that GNU ld was not using strict enough alignment, but
that was causing failure when a program was invoked, not when it was
compiled(?).  In another message, Doug seemed to imply that GNU as was
producing code at which AIX ld balked on AIX 4.2.  I was not aware of that
type of problem with GNU as on AIX 4.2.  I am not sure the build and
configuration were restarted cleanly enough to be sure of this assembler
problem.
