Compiling the the most trivial program with GCC (using the SGI linker) results
in warnings :
$ gcc -o hello hello.c
ld: WARNING 84: /usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix5.3/4.3.3/libgcc.a is not
used for resolving any symbol.
ld: WARNING 84: /usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix5.3/4.3.3/libgcc.a is not
used for resolving any symbol.
ld: WARNING 84: /usr/local/gnu/lib/gcc/mips-sgi-irix5.3/4.3.3/libgcc_eh.a is
not used for resolving any symbol.
In IRIX6, this is prevented by setting the linker option '-dont_warn_unused'
before linking libgcc, and unsetting it again afterward.
