A while back, I submitted a question to this group about a problem with
making nroff driver tables on sun-4s.  It turns out that there is a trick
to doing this on sun-4s, which is:

	cc -c tab.c
	ld -N -Tdata 0 tab.o; mv a.out tab.o

This has the effect of moving the relocation info from the special section
at the end of a sparc binary, into the data segment.
