Any help would be really gratefully received! libbackend.a will be in the build tree after successfully building gcc. It doesn't get installed out of the tree when you install gcc because it's not intended to be a an actual library, and you won't find it anywhere other than by building gcc. It's just a temporary convenience for linking the individual gcc subcompilers (cc1, cc1plus, et cetera) and it's superfluous once the gcc build is finished. Brian
