An #ifdef VAX would be superfluous here.  The loader is one of the more
machine dependant parts of any system.  Not only does it depend on the
format of your relocatable files, but it depends on both the hardware
instruction set and the memorym management system being employed.  Even
who loaders for the same microprocessor would therefore be substatnially
different if they had dissimilar memory schemes.
