Installing a new ld and libc.so.12.62.1 did not help. But to make the
link succeed it seemed to be enough to remove the
-Wl,-rpath-link,/vol1/rhialto/destdir.vax/usr/lib.

If it is indeed true that the ld option -rpath-link fails on NFS-mounted
directories (which is my current suspicion), then this would certainly
be a showstopper for 1.5...

Note: VAX is still a.out.
