While porting some X Windows code to a NeXT work station we discovered
that the "-s" option in a Makefile causes ld to produce an invalid object
file.  The make rule went something like

	cc -O -s ...

and the object file contained a zero length load command of zero where
the zero length LC_SYMTAB (stab) command should have been.
