- With regards to gcc 2.3.1 on a sparc running 4.1:
-
- I think (but I'm not sure) I want to rename the gnu linker (ld) to
- something like gcc-ld, and install it somewhere other than /usr/local
- since there is an older ("proven") version of gnu ld in /usr/local/lib
- that I don't want to overwrite just yet.
-
- How do I get gcc to look for it in, for example, the /new/lib
- directory? I've tried the -B switch, but I still see gcc invoking the
- linker as "ld -e start...".
-
- Must I resort to hardcoding the path and name into gcc.c somewhere?
- I'm hoping there's a more proper way of invoking gnu ld.
-
- Thanks
