No problem. It's a strange concept since most people are so used to
dealing with 32-bit archs and compiler tools.

Glad I could help. And, yes, it always helps when you can look at your
own code and understand what the various options did to it :-)

I'm assuming it's very much like it. I haven't used Digital UNIX/Tru64 in
AGES, so I'm not sure just how far their linker flag goes.

It should. Plus, I've seen alot of resistance towards adding the -taso
patch to the main binutils tree for various reasons. I agree with them,
but I think sometimes, you have to give a little. So, unless they apply
it, I doubt any other dists will add the patch themselves.
