dp-2.2 loadable modules don't...

I posted this to the dplist, but I thought I would try here too.

After compiling and installing dp-2.2 (with the patch posted by Kirk
Smith), I tried to run startdp which loads the loadable modules using
modload.  This happened [I gave modload the -v flag to give more
"information"]:

#/etc/dp/modules/startdp
infile /etc/dp/modules/ppp_async.o, infilename /etc/dp/modules/ppp_async, outfile /etc/dp/modules/ppp_async, execfile /etc/dp/modules/postasyncload
Linking the module...
ld -o /etc/dp/modules/ppp_async -Bstatic -T 0 -A /vmunix -N -e _ppp_async_init -s /etc/dp/modules/ppp_async.o
ld cannot open load script file 0   	[**** The lossage here ****]
ld failed, status = 1
infile /etc/dp/modules/dp_if.o, infilename /etc/dp/modules/dp_if, outfile /etc/dp/modules/dp_if, execfile /etc/dp/modules/postdpload
Linking the module...
ld -o /etc/dp/modules/dp_if -Bstatic -T 0 -A /vmunix -N -e _dpmod_init -s /etc/dp/modules/dp_if.o
ld cannot open load script file 0	[**** and here ****]
ld failed, status = 1
#

Why does ld say: 

    ld cannot open load script file 0

I have checked permissions, the man pages for ld, run 'strings X |
grep script' for every X I can think of, and all to no avail.

I am running SunOS 4.1.1, with a couple of kernel additions (pppV5,
and Symbolics UX400 VME support).  

I hope this isn't something real stupid.  Do I need the jumbo ld patch
(patch # 100170-09) which also means I need the 6Mb libc patch (patch
# 100267)?  I hope not.

Thanks to anyone with a clue
