Ooops, sorry.  I was trying to follow the naming convention established
in gcc. i370=="instruction 370" a rather archaic name from 15+ years
back;  "esa390" might be more modern & appropriate, and if this is really 
a problem, I can entertain the thought of moving everything (gcc,
binutils) to 'esa390'.  Better sooner than later.  Let me know.
