Ack.  I thought I fixed that in the a.out back-end a while ago.

Yes.  Because explicitly listing the link sets in the linker script 
defeats the purpose of them.  Any arbitrary code can define additional 
link sets, which would then have to be listed here in the linker 
script.

We really need to figure out how to make the a.out back-end copy them 
reliably.
