Keith, Jim,

the source isn't that complex as you might have seen in the length of the objdump output.
The object I have given you is only a small test program to find out the missing linkage for
brl branches. My original program needs brl to branch across virtual pages with a big
difference in the virtual addresses. So the test prog never makes any sence, but shows the
missing R_IA64_PCREL60B nicely.
