As I worte previously, I now again do regular compile runs with gcc-HEAD
for the VAX port and it works. ...but only, if -fno-unit-at-a-time is
supplied.

So I actually suspect two bugs: one in the kernel's sources (missing
"const" or rw/ro attributes) and -fno-unit-at-a-time disables some
gcc-internal tests that should have fired.
