Re: Problems when linking

["Carlos Pita" <cpita at tycdigital dot com dot ar>]

I thought that as a front end gcc would have command line options to be
someway mapped to the backend tools (gas in this case) or that cygwin gcc
would generate different default object outputs from gcc compiled in an
unix/elf system (I mean: indirectly, using gas). Are you saying that I
should generate the assembler output with gcc and then use gas to generate
the pretended object format?
Sorry if I'm still out of topic.

Thank you,
    Carlos
