Never mind. I have got ELF/PIC working on my machine. But I cannot use
the latest snapshot. I had to back out to gas-940912 and then apply
the PIC patches for Eric. It works like a charm. Thanks a lot guys.

I have built a set of ELF/PIC binaries of gcc, binutils and the Linux
C library. Eric, I think we are on the right track.
