No. The /bin/ld shipped with FreeBSD is a severely hacked version of an ancient, apocryphal GNU ld. I've recently been invited to bring GNU ld up to current FreeBSD spec, but that's not really my cup of tea. ;^) Fortunately, the standard one seems to work pretty well. If you're attempting to use GCC 2.7.x, you *will* need to update gas, but you can still use the standard ld. -- I'd rather be sailing. Wes Peters BTS SLC wes@btsslc.com
