   I was wrong about this. The problem is not in gen-params and it is being
called with information about where the compiler is. The problem is still
there, but not for the reason I thought. The problem I saw __only__ exists
if libio is built separately from the EGCS build.
   The problem turns out to be that the dummy.o that is used to test for
vtables doesn't have that information in the file.
