`LINKFAIL'
==========

On AIX 4.1, `g77' might not build with the native (non-GNU) tools due
to a linker bug in coping with the `-bbigtoc' option which leads to a
`Relocation overflow' error.  The GNU linker is not recommended on
current AIX versions, though; it was developed under a now-unsupported
version.  This bug is said to be fixed by `update PTF U455193 for APAR
IX75823'.

   Compiling with `-mminimal-toc' might solve this problem, e.g. by
adding
     BOOT_CFLAGS='-mminimal-toc -O2 -g'
   to the `make bootstrap' command line.
