The ELF spec at http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/ says, "In each
symbol table, all symbols with STB_LOCAL binding precede the weak and
global symbols," and that sh_info is the index of the first non-local
symbol.
I was mixing local and global symbols and setting sh_info to zero. I
also forgot to set the type of the .shstrtab section.

Convert each ack.out symbol to ELF, preserving its name and value, and
some but not all other symbol info. The ELF symbol table comes with
ELF section headers. If the input file has no symbols (ack -Rled-s),
then the output file has no ELF section headers.
Append the symbol table and section headers to the ELF file. Linux
ignores this appended info when it execs the file. The info might
pollute the last page of the ELF segment, but Linux clears this
pollution. Tools like nm and gdb can read the ELF symbol table.
I include code to translate debugger symbols to an ELF .stab section.
I did not test this code, because I did not find a platform that can
put S_STB symbols in the ack.out file.
Put end of sentence at end of line. This is roff(7) syntax so the
formatter can make spacing between sentences.
Use the macro .PP to break paragraphs. Use bold for the command name
in SYNOPSIS, to match other ack manuals.
calculated incorrectly because of overflow errors.
Replace it with an extended RELOPPC relocation which understands addis/ori
pairs; add an la pseudoop to the assembler which generates these and the
appropriate relocation. Make good.

Copy rhead() and rsect() from aslod to aelflod, so aelflod can work
for machine with 64-bit long.
In aelflod, fix ELF header so file(1) no longer reports "corrupted
section header size".
rhead() and rsect() had assumed sizeof(long) == 4, but OpenBSD/amd64
has sizeof(long) == 8. The problem revealed itself when sect->os_lign
became zero, and align() divided by zero.
These files "magically reappeared" after the conversion from CVS to
Mercurial. The old CVS repository deleted these files but did not
record *when* it deleted these files. The conversion resurrected these
files because they have no history of deletion. These files were
probably deleted before year 1995. The CVS repository begins to record
deletions around 1995.
These files may still appear in older revisions of this Mercurial
repository, when they should already be deleted. There is no way to fix
this, because the CVS repository provides no dates of deletion.
