Well, it is an even more bletch-worthy hack than zapping backwards and forwards in the assembler output overwriting stuff. Wash your mouth out for even suggesting such a dirty idea! Plus, gcc is very much supposed to interoperate with a target's native binutils-equivalents. I quite regularly read posts from people who use it with Sun's native as/ld on solaris, for example. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today....
