Title: Re: the -n flag on ld on 4.1bsd

I don't know for sure how the 4.1BSD code works, but the code for the
VAX ld in System III completely ignores the -n, -i, or whatever flags.
The code that deals with those is commented out, and the loader
ALWAYS generates code that is "-n style".  I would expect that this is
similar to 32V and thus 4.?BSD.  Any BSD loader experts have comments?
