 Oh, I have some VAX/Linux stuff waiting too; although whether it makes 
sense to submit or not will depend on what happens to support for that 
platform in the Linux kernel and glibc.  I've got a port mostly working, 
but both the kernel and glibc are rather ancient and glibc can't proceed 
without defining a TLS ABI.  I have no interest in Ultrix itself though.
