Actually, in my case it was.  But (and this is ugly!) I knew I didn't have
any globally constructed objects, so I used the Sun ld. Compile with g++
and link once with the standard ld. Works fine.

I did the porting of collect in 1.35.1- to the 386i. Michael said he had
applied my patches to 1.36, but I haven't had the time to check it out.
If there are any problems, I'd like to hear about them.
