I'm using sparc solaris8.
I would expect 3.3.1 and 3.4.0 to have the same behavior here...
I didn't see this problem discussed...

It would also be useful to specify programs for various passes (I'm having problems
with ld 2.14 and 2.15, and it would be nice to be able to do something like:
gcc --ld-prog=/usr/local/bin/ld-2.14 ...
and
gcc --ld-prog=/usr/local/bin/ld-2.15
instead of playing symlink/cp games
I'm also not clear why 3.3.1 installedd in <prefix>/lib/gcc-lib
and 3.4.0 installed in
<prefix>/lib/gcc
