Re: My attempt to change the linker fails

[Ian Roxborough <irox@redhat.com>]

I beleave that this is bug, if I remember correctly this
is fixed in the up comming 5.0 release (sooooooooooon ok).

If you can't wait (I can't give you a date for the 5.0
release) until then, you could edit the file
<your-install-dir>/share/gui/toolchain.tcl to use
gcc166 instead of gcc, this might be a better since
you won't have to change the compiler and linker
every time you create a build target.
