Good info... I'll get a newer snapshot of that too.

How do I force it to use the GNU ld? I thought the --with-gnu-ld would
do that so I don't know how it's picking up the system linker. Well, the
only way I can see is that the GCC 2.95.2 I installed (from sunfreeware)
was compiled to use the system linker . Would it be helpful to inspect
the -dumpspecs output from gcc?
Which linker do i want? I thought the GNU linker was needed if I wanted
to build shared libraries since there was a bug in Sun's linker. Is
this an issue anymore as to which one I use?

hmm. I was under the impression that I could just move the binutils
source directory into the GCC source directory and it would do the job.
More good info. I'll try these things.
Thanks,
