	If there's a patch for binutils or gcc, I'd love to hear about
it.  There is a way to get gcc to work, though.  Back out of patch 410
on your system.  The new IRIX ld breaks gcc.  With the old ld, gcc,
cc, and CC will all function.  The old load doesn't understand some of
the more esoteric flags such as -woff, though.
