On a sudden inspiration, I have searched the gcc config files for 
"jbsr", and found the following comment in the machine description 
file for m68k (gcc-2.7.2.3/config/m68k/m68k.md): 

;; When outputting MIT syntax (e.g. on Suns), we add a bogus extra
;; operand to the jbsr statement to indicate that this call should
;; go through the PLT (why? because this is the way that Sun does it).

Possibly the newer gnu binutils have "forgotten" about this feature 
on the m68k-sun-sunos4 target...?
