Uh... NO! Try running ``cc -v'' sometimes on FreeBSD. libgcc.a is a *REQUIRED* library to link against when using GCC. There is C++ exception handling code in Linux's glibc2, that I cannot fathom why they put it there. I have a feeling your problems are the fault of the software you are trying to port. From other things you've said, I would say libtool could also have a bug and be at fault. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
