- I discovered I had to get a newer copy of ld when I upgraded to gcc
- 2.3.3. The old linker refused to link shared.

- I would like to see the binutils package distributed with gcc, to

- linker are closely related to the compiler (the compiler driver needs
- them.) Commercial compiler packages come with "batteries included."
