   I am using my own headers and my own (fake) libraries.  Because   
   may fakes are static libraries the resulting binary has no   
   chance of working.  I need to work out how to generate fake   
   shared images, then binaries linked to fake libraries when   
   transfed to VMS will use real libraries from the system and should   
   work.

   I have now fix or workaround for this issue, so build goes further.   
   But I get different assembler error at later stage.
