Hi Leon,

This intrigues me, and I suspect is the core of the problem.  Do you have any
idea as to why this should make a difference ?  On the surface the purpose
seems
clear: the reloc being cleared references a section that is going to be 
discarded. so there is no point in processing, or retaining, the reloc.

Please do try - I think that we are going to need one.

If we are going to have to make an SCO specific patch, (which is undesirable,
but appears to be the case in this situation), then we will need a way to make
sure that it works, and that it does not break other COFF targets.

Cheers
