I am looking for a better linker for SCO Unix V.3.2.0 I am trying to get gcc, gcc-as and particularly gcc-ld to run on a 386 (Compaq 33) under SCO Unix V.3.2.0 The real reason is that the people using this machine, are using the Telesoft Ada compiler and have exceeded some of the limits for the standard linker. If anyone else out there has found a solution to this problem could they please please please let me know, perferably by email. They would therefore like to get gcc-ld going as they have been advised that it is better. Currently I can get to stage one done, in the creation of gcc, but when I try the next stage I get "program as terminated with signal 8". The wording may be a little wrong but the intent is there. Gas is made with seemingly no problems, but I suspect that the above may be an gcc-as error. These guys need to use the coff-encupsulation option. I guess that makes things hard :-( If anyone can give me any hints, or even better point me at some executables which I might ftp (or email some to me :-) probably too big for that I suppose) I would be hugely grateful. I have read and complied with the README-ENCAP file in the binutils distribution, and think I have the options correct. The stuff is needed in a bit of a hurry. +--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ Kim Shearer | ARPA: kim%wacsvax.uwa.oz@uunet.uu.net Dept. of Computer Science | UUCP: ..!uunet!munnari!wacsvax!kim University of Western Australia | ACSnet: kim@wacsvax.uwa.oz CRAWLEY, Australia 6009 | PHONE: +61 9 380 3452 +--------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
