Hello.
I installed the ELF shared C librie, gcc, and binutils on Keesh, using
the steps outlined in tsx-11:/pub/linux/packages/GCC/move_to_elf.
As a result, now, when you run "gcc" on Keesh, it will produce an ELF
executable, linked with libc 5.0.9.
You will still want to produce a.out executables occasionally. For
example, if you want to use any library (like libX11) which does not
have an ELF version on Keesh yet. Or if you want to compile the
kernel. Or if you want to compile some Linux-Athena programs without
requiring that all Linux-Athena users update to libc 5.0.9... This is
very easy. Just use "gcc -b i486-linuxaout" and it will produce an
a.out executable linked with libc 4.7.2.
If I screwed anything up, please fix it and let me know about it.
Have a nice day.
-Sal.
