It turned out that my problem with SPICE (2G.6, by the way) on the Sun was
really a problem with UNIX error handling.  As Don Speck from CIT-VAX
reminded me, you have to make sure VAXUNIXASM is not defined in the unix.c
file (change the preceeding line to #if defined(vax) && !defined(lint)  ).
When I saw this define, I sort of assumed that if it was left defined, I'd
find out about it.  To make a long story short, when as (and c2) detect a
bad opcode, it still makes the .o file.  So I didn't get to see the error.

(As Don also points out, you will notice a use of the O format which Sun
f77 doesn't support when you try to compile SPICE.)
