<Apparently there was a change in SunOS 4.1 that means that GNU ld made

We've recently had some problems with the GNU ld on Sun4's, but they
don't seem to be related to the OS version; they seem to be related to
the machine type.

Specifically, a version of GNU ld, built on a Sun 4/60 under SunOS
4.0.3c, works fine on both 4/60's and 4/65's running 4.0.3c and 4.1, but
fails on 4/280's and 4/330's running 4.0.3 and 4.1.

I haven't had a chance to track down just why as yet, but it's dying
with a seg. fault inside the first call to malloc -- asking for 40
bytes.  Also, it fails in the same way even when invoked with no
arguments.
