Hi,

currently the alpha/vax vms backend in split in 4 files:

vms-gsd.c
vms-hdr.c
vms-misc.c
vms-tir.c

I think it doesn't really make sense to have 4 files for such a minor  
backend.  The total size
is about 150KB, which isn't very large (250KB for elf32-ppc.c, 350KB  
for elf64-ppc.c for examples).

I plan to put all these bits into vms-eobj.c (obj/eobj is the name of  
the vms vax/alpha object file format,
but because this name is too common I prefer to keep the vms- prefix).

Any objections/comments ?

After that I plan to update the misc makefile.vms and configure.com so  
that binutils can be built on vms.

Tristan.
