Linker Error on Solaris 2.5.1 with GCC 2.95

[Anna Winkler <awinkler@maad.com>]

Hi,

I'm compiling a 3rd party application on Solaris 2.5.1 with GCC 2.95.  I
installed the Solaris 2.5 freeware package of GCC 2.95, so it was not
compiled on my system.

At the final link stage, I get an error from ld: 

/usr/local/bin/make -j4 CC="g++" DEBUG="-g -pedantic -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -DDEBUG_MENU " ipme
make[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/awinkler/ipme1'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [ipme] Error 1

I updated my path so that the ld in /usr/ccs/bin is the one found first
(instead of the one in /usr/ucb/bin).  

Does anyone have any suggestions?  

Thanks very much,
