Hi.. I guess it's part of their recent switch from a.out to elf binary
formats.. http://www.BSDI.COM/resources/elf_faq

I tried both the stock (gnu) as and the latest from GNU.. (binutils)
trying to graft elf support into your development tools. I'm not really able to
get it working past stage1 build.

/usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.2/config.guess:

i386-pc-bsdi4.0

# This directory was configured as follows:
/usr/local/src/egcs-1.1.2/configure --with-gcc-version-trigger=/usr/local/src/eg
cs-1.1.2/gcc/version.c --host=i386-pc-bsdi4.0 --verbose --norecursion 

it's loading 386bsd.h and bsd386.h 

I compared to BSDI's 4.0 build of gcc (2.7.2.1) 

and attempted to modify bsd386.h to correspond to some of BSDI's changes to gcc
2 ..
#define CPP_PREDEFINES "-Dunix -D__i386__ -Di386 -D__bsdi__ -Dbsdi -D__ELF__ -As
ystem(unix) -Asystem(bsd) -Acpu(i386) -Amachine(i386)"


#undef LINK_SPEC
#define LINK_SPEC "-m elf_i386 %{shared:-shared} \
 %{!shared: \
  %{!static: \
    %{rdynamic:-export-dynamic} \
    %{!dynamic-linker:-dynamic-linker /shlib/ld-bsdi.so}} \
    %{static:-static}}"

#define DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO 1 /* Now BSDI 4 uses elf) */

Anyway it's just too much for me right now. I've got a rough schedule now and I
am not a compiler developer..
