But we KNOW that we're not in a shared library.  The user told us
via command-ine options.  That's why we know that the bar that we
have in the current translation unit is the one that MUST be bound
by ld and ld.so.

If VAX ELF is really broken in this way, you should just override
binds_local_p and get it over with.
