>Description:
	The recent change to libbfd to `fix' linking of non-paged
	executables has broken Emacs.  temacs builds and runs, but the
	undumped emacs executable core dumps.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Update libbfd.  Build pkgsrc/editors/emacs.

>Fix:
	[None provided, though backing out the libbfd change works.]
