I am using the version that in /gp/gnu/ld.c as of Nov. 25.

Two problems:

1) It doesn't warn about out-of-date __.SYMDEF members.
It should check that __.SYMDEF is at least as new as any other file in the
archive.

2) The undefined-symbol error messages are sometimes garbled:
loc^E^At:302: Undefined symbol _daylight referenced from text
loc^E^At:379: Undefined symbol _daylight referenced from text
d:72: Undefined symbol _tzname referenced from text
(^E and ^A represent control chars.)
The file names actually were: localtime.c, localtime.c, and strftime.c,
repsectively.
