I think you're getting something mixed up here. It's a common area of confusion, so no worries. a.out is the linker (ld)'s default filename when you don't specify one (and ld is invoked by the compiler after it compiles the .c source code). It's a left-over from the times where a.out was the executable format, before "elf" was created. The binutils guys simply haven't changed the default filename yet and probably won't since it's one of those things that is the expected default. -- Gerard Beekmans /* If Linux doesn't have the solution, you have the wrong problem */ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
