I checked my last build of the GAS - for VAX/VMS

The Patch at the progis.de site is different than the one applied to my
source.  My guess is that it requires another patch that also has not made it
into the main distribution.

In module WRITE.C

(Near top of module)
/* 22-Jun-1998 J. Malmberg Patch from Klaus Kaempf to fix broken words
**    not properly emited
*/

#include "as.h"

(skip)
New line 1523 placed above the old line.

  /* Patch from Klaus Kaempf to fix broken words not properly emited */
 /*-----------------------------------------------------------------*/
 subseg_change (SEG_TEXT, 0);
Old line 1519
 prevP = &broken_words

================================

In module OBJ-VMS.C

(Near top of module)
/* 12-Jun-1998 J. Malmberg create() for VMS needs "ctx=bin" */

(change line)
VMS_Object_File_FD = create (out_file_name, 0, "rfm=var", "ctx=bin",
     "mbc=16", "deq=64", "fop=tef", "shr=nil");

==================
With out the ctx=bin, my VMS 5.5-2 system would not produce valid object
formats.  Curiously Klaus's binary GAS-VAX built with out it does, so it may be
a version dependant thing.

It looks like this is a difference from if you link with the DEC C RTL shared
image or the VAX C RTL shared image.  Both my DEC C and my VAX C manuals seem
to imply that the "ctx=bin" is needed to prevent the file from being created in
stream-LF mode.
