But then the test would pass, and you want it to fail on 2.16.1 otherwise you'll get the hang later when building libstdc++. Ideally configure ought to be able to test for a hang in ld. If that's too hard, then I suppose you could fail this test for powerpc64 based on ld version. -- Alan Modra IBM OzLabs - Linux Technology Centre
