>Organization:
>Environment:
Solaris 2.6 on SPARC, gcc version 2.95.3, GNU ld version 2.11.1
Solaris 2.8 on Intel, gcc version 2.95.3, GNU ld version 2.10.1
>Description:
GNU ld cannot parse the map file libgcc.map which is passed as the -M option.  The configure script detects GNU ld because it is first in my path, but appears to configure the linker options for /usr/ucb/ld, which is the default linker on Solaris
/usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.8/bin/ld:libgcc.map: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/local/i386-pc-solaris2.8/bin/ld:libgcc.map:1: parse error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

>How-To-Repeat:
configure --enable-threads=posix
make bootstrap
>Fix:
Kludge: Move the GNU ld binary to another name and symlink /usr/ucb/ld in it's place
Unfortunately, /usr/ucb/ld has a tendency to segfault when linking large object files

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: rodrigc
State-Changed-When: Sat Dec 15 08:35:37 2001
State-Changed-Why:
    If you want to configure gcc to use the GNU ld instead
    of the Solaris ld, then you should use
    --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=pathname
    
    as documented here:
