   I wonder if anybody is using GNU binutils targeting VMS.  I am   
   trying to set up toolchain for cross-compilation (from Linux) to   
   Alpha VMS.  Trying reasonably recent (2.43 and 2.39) binutils I   
   get errors suggesting serious brokennes, for example when I use   
   'ar' to create a library and later extract a member I get changed   
   file and 'objdump' says that extracted file is malformed.   
      
   I am now trying binutils 2.21 and apparently they do not have the   
   problem above.  But I see some weirdness and apparently '-shared'   
   option (to create shared image) is not supported.
