Bloody MIT!

	Kerberos is built with code of the form *.ct which is
	a pre-processor file listing a user command interface.

	An internal command make_commands runs over this and
	makes a .o file linking the runtime funcs into a jump
	table with embedded helpstrings and prompts.

	The make_commands invoked $(CC) -R and the -R flag
	was being passed to gas to fold data into text. This
	appears to cause ld to barf bigtime.

SO:

	Does anybody understand why ld is upset if gas -R is
	used before it links a final object? Should I be
	reporting this as a gas/ld problem?
