Subject: Re:  build dies in link step

I had originally reviewed some comments regarding gcc on the 
sunfreeware.com site regarding a recommendation
that gcc-3.3.1 be built for soalris-7 as follows:

../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --disable-nls  --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++,objc

However, when I tried these configure options with 3.3.2, I ran into a 
bunch of problems.
Since I had just built binutils-2.14 for the m68k-elf target, I decided 
to try the binutils-2.14 tools with gcc-3.3.2 for a solaris target.
When that failed, I tried gcc-3.4-20031224 this morning.
When I saw the same link-step error today, I decided to report a bug.

    build-gcc> type ld
    ld is /tools/local.sparc-sun-solaris2.7/bin/ld
    build-gcc> ld --version
    GNU ld version 2.14 20030612

    warranty.
    build-gcc>
    build-gcc> ld --help >ld.out

I have attached the file ld.out for reference.  Below is an extract from 
ld.out:
    26    -M, --print-map             Print map file on standard output
    78    -Map FILE                   Write a map file

The actual error if that the argument:
  -Wl,-M,libgcc/./libgcc.map
should be
  -Wl,-Map libgcc/./libgcc.map
when using the binutils-2.14 suite.

I am not aware of the history of binutils.   I have not built gcc in a 
few years and I just thought I would
report what I am seeing.
Hope this helps.
