--with-gnu-ld ?

--with-gnu-ld ?

[Chris Majewski]

FYI:
To configure  gcc3.0 to use a different  ld than the one  used by your
previous  compiler,  you have  to  do  an "export  LD=/path/to/gnu/ld"
before running  configure.  This really should be  a configure option,
no? Something like '--with-gnu-ld=/path/to/gnu/ld'.

Erh,    actually,   I    take   that    back.   Gcc    *still*   using
/usr/ccs/bin/ld. Maybe I need to take out the --with-gnu-ld..

Yeah.  The problem  seems to  be that  if my  current compiler  uses a
non-gnu   ld,   --with-gnu-ld   confuses   the  gcc   build.   Setting
LD=/path/to/gnu/ld  seems  to have  done  the  right  thing, though  I
haven't tested it yet..

It's --with-ld=blah you're looking for.  --with-gnu-ld just tells GCC
that blah is a GNU ld, not a system-bundled ld.

Is  not! '--with-gnu-ld'  is an  option, but  '--with-gnu-ld=blah' did
nothing for me.

It is.
