Well that wouldn't do me very much good because I have to be able to
rebuild from source and re-install on occasion....

I did manage to get the ld.elf_so sources from -current to compile on
1.6.x, but it won't run -- it dumps core, but of course in such a way
that GDB is useless (at least on the alpha).  I may have missed updating
some header in src/include (I only updated dlfcn.h).

BTW, the error spewed by a dynamic-linked binary when there's no
ld.elf_so program to run is not very kind to an xterm.  Here's an
example of it, after filtering through "od -c":
