I built a new binutils from pehc:~amodra/binutils-current, which has
this patch, and it produces a working find and make.

So, we need a new binutils, and a check for more broken binaries.
This check seems to do it, someone can roll it in to plt-checker.

for i in /bin/* /sbin/* /usr/bin/* /usr/sbin/*; do if readelf -r $i 2> /dev/null | grep -q R_PARISC_NONE; then echo ===== $i =====; fi; done

Things I know have a problem are find, make, modutils.  libmagick++5
has also been reported.  However, I don't have much installed, so
someone need to run the check over the archive, I guess.

I still have an issue with the binaries produced from a modutils
build though (e.g depmod), which still have a R_PARISC_NONE in
them.  I've tar-ed up my build tree, as pehc:~rhirst/modutilsbug.tgz
The libc, etc are as per the ones in findbug.tgz.  The binaries do
seem to work, but Alan says R_PARISC_NONE is indicative of a linker
bug.

Many thanks to Alan for his help!
