RE: Binutils 2.9.5.0.24 targetting i960-wrs-vxworks5.3

[rfreier at csw dot L-3com dot com]

Hrm.. I tried supplying the linker script from the 2.7 ld to the
2.9.5.0.24 ld, but that didn't change the problem. It turns out
the 2.9.5.0.24 ld is generating incorrect sizes only when
the object in question is common (uninitialized).
