Greetings!  Just released another Debian package of the latest CVS,
and ran into a problem which will affect ia64, mips, and alpha, all of
which built axiom until recently.  These platforms relocate/load
objects using dlopen (pending a bfd enabling patch possible in
principle), and the build has hit the limit of the maximum number of
open files (1024).  Is there any intermediate image which could be
built with the objects preloaded which would minimize the number of
load attempts made later in the build?

This is perhaps the chief weakness of the dlopen relocation option vis
a vis the bfd or custom relocation option.

Take care,
