Could well be Ultrix heritage, but in any case the parameter syntaxes of Tru64 cc and ld are rather different and non-intersecting, and the cc doesn't automatically pass through unknown parameters to ld (one needs to use the -W for explicit passing.) The cc and ld manpages for example here (blame HP for the awful URLs): http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/MAN/MAN1/0607____.HTM http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/MAN/MAN1/0668____.HTM > In any case, dynclasses_pl.in is wrong. There should be no CFLAGS there. -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. It is 'dead'." -- Jack Cohen
