I keep seeing queries about why g++ won't work under SunOS 4.1 because
the generated binaries segfault, etc. I'm dismayed that archive keepers
at FSF and elsewhere haven't seen fit to put this fix in a file with a
prominent name like SunOS4.1-gld-bugfix. Here is the one line fix for
the problem. Better fixes probably exist but this one worked for me. I
believe the ld.c in binutils works properly too.

Apologies for that last article, my finger (or brain) slipped, I should have added a ++ to the group name. I can't seem to cancel the article with our setup here. However, it does so happen that if you had problems with gcc and gld on 4.1, well, this is the fix. (But you should use /bin/ld if you want shared libraries.)
