    A vax build on i386 resulted in an executable file.  The only difference
 in the relocation entries is that the good file has a R_VAX_NONE at the
 beginning instead of the garbage entry later:
 
 ==> /tmp/troff.net3 <==

    A vax build on an alpha also shows the same R_VAX_NONE entry.  If the 
 R_VAX_NONE is a valid entry, something is corrupting that on the amd64 
 cross-build of troff, and the native build of pic and grops.
 
    The relocation entries of the amd64 cross-build of pic and grops show 
 the same R_VAX_NONE entry:
