I'm trying to install g++ on a BSD4.3 Vax.  The Sun-3 installation
went well, but I'm having problems with the Vax installation. 

The compilers(gcc and g++) are built, and now I'm working in dist-libg++.
Unfortunately, test0 fails while loading test.hello.o with the following
message:

ld: relocation address out of range in /usr/local/lib/crt0+.o

I'm pretty certain that I'm using the right defines, link's etc. for the 
Vax.  We have sources, so I tried including the code for __do_global_init()
and __do_global_cleanup() in the BSD crt0.c and using that for
/usr/local/lib/crt0+.o.  Unfortunately, ld still fails with the same error.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
