Not even HEAD binutils will work unpatched for vax-linux (it's missing
Linux glue code as well as configure need to recognize vax-linux (or
vax-dec-linux-gnu)... It's just that there are really little people
interested in Linux on a VAX and thus, even all the work needed to keep
catching up with HEAD is a hard time...

However, *BSD does already support VAX somewhat and I hope that we maybe
can profit from that fact, esp for GCC.
