As I say in the summary line, yeah, I got it up here...took less than what
I really expected it to.  The beastie is still in "test" here...once its
had a little more of a shake-out I'll be sending the info to RMS.
Basically all it took was:
  * A small do-nothing routine that contains the declare for data_start
    that's at the head of the object file list,
  * A reference to /lib/crt0.[whatever] prior to the data_start module
  * A little work in s-usg5.2.h and m-amdahl.h
  * A sign_extend routine that'll sign extend chars and 24-bit ints.
I know this sound like a bit of work but I accomplished it in less than a
week working only a couple-a hours a day on it.

Even though I've got my disclaimer on the bottom here I feel that I should
make the following point:  I am *not* associated with UTS Development and
am not making any official statements for Amdahl Corp...I'm just a l'il ole
coder that happens to like UTS and, now, GNU EMACS.
