The 32bit PA elf needs a *complete and total* rewrite.  Anything based on
the old code is horribly broken.

I've tried to explain the issues to HP & the puffins, but they weren't
particularly interested in listening to why the old 32 PA elf code was
totally inappropriate for their needs.  I sincerely hope they didn't
resurrect the old stuff.
