[comp.unix.questions] ld -r problems with SCO UNIX 3.2

skeeve@eng.umd.edu (Rebecca J. Oakes) (06/11/90)

	I am trying to combine multiple .o's into one .o.  Please do not tell
me to use a .a.  I don't want one in this case.  The command syntax
works fine in SCO XENIX and in SunOS.  The command is:

	ld -r -o ../all.o *.o

	It complains by saying something like "invalid record type 0xb5".  What's 
the deal?????  The specific .o file on which it complains seems to be a function
of size.  IE:  compiled with debug (-g) the compliant is sooner than without.
