I seem to be having problems when trying to find what makes up an executable
using the "what" command. It looks like the gnu assembler and linker don't 
keep the .ident portion in the executable.

This is using gcc-2.7.2.1 and binutils 2.5.2. I have tried this as a native
on Sunos4.1.3 and as a cross to m68k-coff, both strip out ident messages.

It seems to work if I use the native linker and assembler, but I would really
like to use the GNU binutils, and in the case of cross-development need to
use them. Are there any tricks to get as and ld to keep the .ident strings
in the final executable?

	Thanks,
