	Unfortunately, gcc is too big for the assembler to cope with if
compiled with the -g option.  Try changing CFLAGS to not include -g.

	Well, I've got it to compile, but haven't had time to do more than
that.  If somebody else is interested I can give them the changes necessary
to make it compile.  **THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WORK**  Unfortunately
the coff'izing changes for g++ require the assembler to understand the
.segment operator and the A/UX assembler doesn't.  Somebody will have to
cobble together something along the lines of the post loader or some such.
