If somebody has the time, could they see if they can get it to work
with an older binutils release. I suspect the fix is to not tell ld
to output binary with -oformat binary, but to generate ELF as normal,
then add an extra step of objcopy to convert to binary.

I don't have a RH4.2 system anymore so I cannot verify that this will
work.
