	Linking the Fortran compiler fails, but the TOC overflow message
itself is a warning which the -bbigtoc option addresses (as described in
the "extra instructions" message.

	The failure is due to the "relocation overflow" severe error.
This appears to be an AIX linker bug.  This failure began with some recent
changes to the Fortran backend.  Subsequent Fortran changes might make
this disappear, otherwise a linker patch will be necessary.
