And sure enough, Andy was right.  I found that in my porting of ACK as ->
GNU as format I'd hadn't translated references of (a1) to a1@().  gas produced
a undefined symbol, which ld wasn't telling me about.

Also, where are the patches for GNU ld?  I have the binary for GNU ld under
68k Minix and source for stock GNU ld, but no patches.
