Aha! So it is some quirky gnumakeism.. Well now, this is what I believe
the line to be:

ld -r -b binary -r -defsym TRANS_TBL=_binary_compdata_start compdata -o
table.o

Of course, I still don't have the -b or -defsym options, but I see that it
is
trying to link compdata to create table.o.  Now, I'm not quite sure then
what
compdata is supposed to be, is it supposed to be an ELF object file?  I see
that it is spit out by comptbl.  I mean, ld gives me this:

ld: compdata: malformed input file (not rel or archive)

And doing a quick file on the file doesn't tell me anything more than that
compdata is "data" (using perhaps an older version of file).  This part of
the
build process really confuses me, perhaps someone could shed more light
please?

Thanks all,
Tomo
