I would like to use GNU ld (from binutils-2.1) on my 386BSD box. But
with the resulting output files, the text size always seems to be 32
bytes too short (comparing sizes with `size' against an original
version created with collect2 and the system's linker), and I can't use
`nm' on them - it complains about various things, mostly `nm: genattr:
stab truncated..'.

Any hints as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated...
