Damn, spoke too soon.  Everything works on the alpha except ld.elf_so.
After I install a new ld.elf_so, I get the following from any
dynamically linked program:
	
	assertion "!objself.textrel
	" failed: file "/NetBSD/src/libexec/ld.elf_so/rtld.c", line 208
	Abort

If anyone wants to look into this on an alpha, you can create an
ld.elf_so that fails like this with:

	ld -Bshareable -Bsymbolic -e _rtld_start -o ld.elf_so rtld_start.o \
		rtld.o reloc.o symbol.o malloc.o xmalloc.o xprintf.o debug.o \
		map_object.o load.o search.o headers.o paths.o -L/usr/lib \
		-non_shared -lc

Just make sure you have a backup of ld.elf_so around :-)


I've added the _pic.a symlink as well.  I'll add this to the source tree
soon, but only enabled for mips.

Simon.
