And test again after:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-01/msg00083.html
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-01/msg00092.html

have been 'approved and applied'.

I'd also like to find an acceptable way to get rid of the random garbage that 
shows up between the section header and the first section in an executable 
(that's there because the OS doesn't blank out parts of a file created 
because of seeks).
