I have fixed the NetBSD/alpha ld.elf_so in -current to work with
the "new" PLT format used by the GNU toolchain for elf64-alpha.

(It's actually fairly old, but we were using an even OLDER format.)

All of your pre-existing ELF binaries will continue to work.  However,
if you build and install an new libbfd, then all binaries built after
that WILL FAIL unless you have previously updated your ld.elf_so.

To make the transition slightly easier, Ross Harvey or I will build
a new NetBSD/alpha binary snapshot soon.
