egcs 1.0.1 install

[W. Kyle Gilbertson]

Hey all,

I got the following after an egcs-1.0.1 install on a 300 MHz EV5 running 
RH 5.0:

[root@aspsys2 objdir]# g77
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev5-unknown-linux-gnu/egcs-2.90.23/libf2c.a(main.o):
 In function `main':
/usr/FSF/egcs-1.0.1/gcc/f/runtime/libF77/main.c:128: undefined reference to `MAI
N__'
/usr/FSF/egcs-1.0.1/gcc/f/runtime/libF77/main.c:128: undefined reference to `MAI
N__'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[root@aspsys2 objdir]# telnet alpine.aspsys.com

Should I be concerned?

Kyle

Nope.  It's a known bug that calling g++ or g77 with no arguments will
do bogus things instead of telling you that they need a source file.

Jim Wilson submitter a better patch to fix this problem and it has
been installed in the development sources.

Thanks for the patch anyway.  It did provide some insight into the
problem and possible ways to fix it.
