$NetBSD: patch-aa,v 1.1 2015/04/25 10:32:07 wiz Exp $
from revision 1.5 of patch-ae:

Hand edit the alpha/netbsd.h patch. -current gcc relies on a new linker script
which only differs in setting the entry point. Let this use the default
linker script for alpha but force the entry point so this will work on older
NetBSD installs for alpha.  For NetBSD-1.6 and newer, we don't need to change
the link spec.
