[gnu.gcc] GCC & GAS

woodman@sumax.UUCP (David Woodman) (11/28/89)

 I am trying to obtain the GNU ld program alluded to in G++ but have
been unable to locate it. Does it exist yet ?
I have compiled GAS (1.34) using both GCC (1.36) and a local compiler.
Both compiles run to completion but the end product is unusable by GCC
(complains of unknown -j flag and other characters in the input files).
Is this an old version (where can I find the latest?) or am I doing
something wrong? Thanks.

P.S. -  I have GCC running on an Encore (NS32332) but I am not
convinced that it is good. Where can I find a test suite for 
C compilers?

It's part of the "binary utilities" package.  Find it on
prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/binutils.tar.Z or
osu-cis!~/gnu/binutils/binutils.tar.Z.

This is strictly true, but note that there is a version of ld.c included in
the G++ distribution (at least in g++-1.36.1).  You need to use that
version rather than the one from binutils.

I found out the hard way. :-)
