egcs-1.1.1, mips-sgi-irix6.2

[Matthias Abraham <matthias dot abraham at wolfson dot oxford dot ac dot uk>]

Dear Sir/Madam,

Yesterday I downloaded the complete egcs-1.1.1 archive. The
configure/build/test/install steps gave no problems.

Then I wrote a little 'Hello World' C++ program. Compiling it using 'g++'
resulted in the following linker error:
g++ test.C 
ld: WARNING 84: /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a is not used for resolving any
symbol.

ld: FATAL 9: I/O error (-lm): No such file or directory collect2: ld 
returned 32 exit status

Could you help me resolving this problem?

By the way, compiling the program using
'gcc test.C /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.a' works fine (it just produces a
very large executable of about 600KB). Do I always have to specify the
standard C++ library as a command line option? I thought this would be
done automatically as for the stdclib.

Do I need to install another 'ld'? The GNU binutils do not supply the 'ld'
for my platform.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards

Matthias Abraham.
