Okay.  So this means there's a problem with the GNU ld code. Jeff, do
you know approximately where within the ld code we should be looking to
fix this?

I confess I'm starting to get a little lost with the segment placings. 
Everything I'm trying is producing nothing at all.  The latest I've
tried is linking with:

parisc-linux-ld -m hppaelf -Ttext 0x1000 -N -s \
     ipl_s.o ipl_c.o rom_interface.o ../../../lib/milli.o -o ipl

You can inspect this kernel, it's at
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/kernels/Image-19990612-1

The IPL starts at 0x1000.

It would be very helpful to get a PIM dump as Kirk had provided earlier.
