Fwd: linking dies with multiply defined error

[Angus Leeming <a dot leeming at ic dot ac dot uk>]

I have just installed gcc-2.95.2 and find that while it compiles correctly, it
can fall over when linking with a "multiply defined" error in libgcc.

If there is any further information that you might require, please don't
hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,
Angus
