Stoyan
Thanks for your help. It'll be a day or two before I try your idea:
I've got other problems with this install that probably won't fix this
problem but need to be done anyway. But I have a couple of other
questions:
1) Should I do my own gcc compile of binutils even though I have
Sun-provided GNU binutils (no doubt compiled by their
proprietary)?
2) Does GNU ld recognize the relevant command-line args (-R -L -l -o
etc) that g++ does? I.e. can I simply replace "g++" with "ld"
(GNU version, of course), or will I need to RTFM's on ld and g++?
