Indeed.

The solution ultimately seems to be: upgrade to gcc 3.3.2, because it
worked after I did that. In addition I set CC to 'gcc -m64
-mcpu=ultrasparc', but left CFLAGS and LDFLAGS unset. Oh, and use Sun's
ld, not GNU's.

Hugh, to answer your earlier question, I had made sure to point to
/usr/ccs first in my path. I was just griping in general about the ld
hell I've entered by building some thing's with binutils, and others
with Sun's utils.

Guy, thank you very much for putting up with me while I stumbled through
this!

Now, to benchmark!

Regards,

Dan

I'm fairly sure I didn't mention that! I did ask which version of
binutils and GCC you were trying with when you got the failures.

My experience is that building gnu things with gnu tools generally
works better, but this is not always desirable. And sometimes it
feels endless :-).
