Re: [PATCH] Allow aliases where target is a number for VMS

Support for VMS pragma import_exception which uses an alias to define an

I think you need to handle this separately from symbol alias support. I certainly don't like

      /* Extension: an alias whose target is an address creates an
	 absolute symbol.  */

with zero documentation.  I suggest that your vms common routines
record these absolute symbols and emit them at the asm_file_end hook.
