System name: bill-the-cat
Type and version: SPARC/Classic 7.7T (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Build a software package (XEmacs, but that's not
important right now.)
What's wrong:
gcc does not use the vendor-supplied ld. However,
when gcc is called with the -fpic option, it calls
ld with the appropriate options for the vendor
supplied ld, not GNU ld.
What should have happened:
Either:
* gcc should call GNU ld with the right options
- or -
* gcc should call the vendor-supplied ld
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This is the case for gcc for sun4 in the cygnus locker.
The gnu locker uses the vendor supplied ld.
