All is well.

There was one ld testsuite failure (selective1).  Clearly, the a.out object
format on vax-*-ultrix* doesn't support selective linking because it only
has the three standard sections.  I also noticed that selective.exp quite
when the second test didn't compile rather than continuing with the next test.
Here is a little patch for these problems.

I have to wonder if the the gcc options, `-ffunction-sections' and
`-fdata-sections', should generate warnings if they are not supported.  At
the moment, they are silently ignored.  Maybe there is a way selective.exp
could check if a target supports these.

        * ld-selective/selective.exp: Return if target is `vax-*-ultrix*'.
        Continue with other tests when there is a compilation error.
