Hey guys,

The new binutils is what is causing the malloc bug.  On aranym, if you
install and link/assemble something with the new binutils it has the
same problem.  In addition, nm reports no symbols in any compiled
binaries.  Although the new binutils appears to work on the surface, in
reality there's big problems :(  Most likely something in the binary
header is getting clobbered because we're using improper size calcs.  No
worries, I'll fix it.  I'm already in way too deep.

Back to the drawing board.

Thanks,
Mark
