gcc behind the scenes

[Sunzir Deepur]

Hello,,

I tried to compile foo.c using "gcc -v foo.c",
and I noticed:
1. the driver is not calling cpp. why is that ? isn't there a preprocessing
   stage ?
2. the linker binary is actually called collect2 and not ld.
    is there a reason for that (I'm using a FC5 system) ?

Thank You
