Hi,

I recently installed egcs 1.1.1 on an Alpha Linux box for one of our users.
This person tried compiling an f90 program but kept getting the following error
message:

$ /software/egcs/bin/bin/g77 -ff90 f90_tools.f90
/usr/bin/ld:f90_tools.f90: file format not recognized; treating as linker script
/usr/bin/ld:f90_tools.f90:1: parse error
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
$

This may sound like a naive question but it's one the documentation wasn't 
clear about. How much of Fortran 90 does egcs handle?
(i.e. Is egcs really an F90 compiler?)

The version of gld in use is GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.15)
My question is this, do I need to install a new gld? 
If so, where can I find source for gld?

Any info would be appreciated.

		Thanks,
