What if someone wants to use the linker directly by itself? If there is a "right" dynamic linker for Solaris, then the linker should use it by default. Otherwise, we're just making our users work harder. That doesn't mean we should use -dynamic-linker in GCC, too. Doing that makes us work with old versions of GNU ld, which is certainly good. -- Mark Mitchell mark@codesourcery.com CodeSourcery, LLC http://www.codesourcery.com
