	reorder is not part of the distributed 88k OS from Motorola
	(known as FH32.*).  it was designed to be the "optimizer pass"
	for the 88k compiler developed by Motorola Austin; however,
	our relased OS is based on the Green Hills compiler.  For the
	GH compiler, the optimization is done as part of the compiler
	pass.  we tried running "reorder" over GH-produced code a few
	times and reorder itself choked.  it was, therefore, dropped.
