Not yet -- but I put that on my todo list.  I didn't want to leave it
broken in case it took me a while to get to that.

The actual error was from the linker, indicating that there was no
output section ".got" for input section ".got.plt".  My hunch is that
this is related to mixing PIC and non-PIC objects; it showed up when
testing gcc-current, which doesn't yet support PIC on VAX, whereas e.g.
the crt0, libc, etc. installed on the system were built with a GCC
which generates PIC code by default on VAX ELF.
