Ha! I was hoping you'd say that. ;-)

Attached is a patch which makes the gcc toolset work on Tru64. This is not 
meant to be applied directly, just to highlight the changes needed.

There are three issues left:

1) -R does not work, but there is -rpath instead. The ld man page on my 
Linux box seems to indicate that -rpath should really be used, as this is 
more widely available with ELF linkers.

2) There is no -rpath-link option.

3) There is no -strip-all, but there is -s instead.

Maybe a new linker type 'osf' or 'tru64' should be added, which gets 
configured automatically when os.name = OSF. Any maybe the SONAME handling 
could somehow be integrated there as well.

Thanks, Markus
