Yes, the configure check > definitely needs to test both as and ld. Yes, I do, per Joseph S. Myers' instructions: "" I recommend using GNU as and Sun ld. /usr/sfw/bin/as should be a suitable version of the GNU assembler, or try the 2.15.97 binutils snapshot (from ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/binutils/snapshots/) for an assembler which should also be sufficiently recent [..] "" Note that no other combination will even bootstrap. GNU ld stumbles upon a Sun-supplied crt*.o file, and Sun's as chokes on the generated assembly (x86_64 instructions it fails to handle?). Regards, Jeroen.
