Yes. The problem is that PCLU is calling 'cc', which is creating ELF
output. However PCLU can only deal with a.out output. So, you need
to either fix PCLU to deal with ELF output, or you need to fix PCLU to
compile things as a.out. Neither of these solutions is easy. I
believe Erik Nygren was looking at PCLU last.
The only other solution is to change the gcc that you are using so
that it defaults to compiling things in a.out. Again, this is not a
good solution. But these are your choices. (An alternative choice is
to use another system)
