Binutils 2.9.5.0.24 targetting i960-wrs-vxworks5.3

[rfreier at csw dot L-3com dot com]

The 2.9.5.0.24 binutils does something strange for 
i960-wrs-vxworks5.3... at the final link stage, all the
entries in the BSS section are made 8 bytes too small
compared with the sizes when linking with the Wind River
supplied linker.  (ld version cygnus-2.6 (with BFD cygnus-2.6))

The resulting image will not boot. I've gotten around this 
by using the cygnus-2.6 linker for the last step. 
Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I don't know
if this is a bug in the 2.9.5.0.24 binutils, or if 8 bytes are being
added on to each symbol by the 2.6 linker to compensate
for a bug in vxWorks.

Thanks
Rod Freier
