22  * For every sub-segment the user mentions in the ASsembler program,
23  * we make one struct frchain. Each sub-segment has exactly one struct frchain
24  * and vice versa.
25  *
26  * Struct frchain's are forward chained (in ascending order of sub-segment
27  * code number). The chain runs through frch_next of each subsegment.
28  * This makes it hard to find a subsegment's frags
29  * if programmer uses a lot of them. Most programs only use text0 and
30  * data0, so they don't suffer. At least this way:
31  * (1)	There are no "arbitrary" restrictions on how many subsegments
32  *	can be programmed;
33  * (2)	Subsegments' frchain-s are (later) chained together in the order in
34  *	which they are emitted for object file viz text then data.
35  *
36  * From each struct frchain dangles a chain of struct frags. The frags
37  * represent code fragments, for that sub-segment, forward chained.
