As we discussed yesterday, you > mentioned this tool/util is same as Linue uses. Almost the same. We use the standard binutils-2.9.1 utilities, while Linux uses their release-of-the-day. The most recent one is what they call binutils 2.9.1.0.15. Generally they don't make feature changes in their dot-dot releases, and generally their changes are folded into subsequent official releases from the GNU project. > I am carefully tested this issue on a following Linux system: > > Linux 2000.lbl.gov 2.0.31 #1 Sun Nov 9 21:45:23 EST 1997 i686 unknown > > The ld works exactly as other platforms, like Solaris (ELF), SunOS4 (not ELF), > FreeBSD 2.x (aout), without such a problem.

Fair enough. Could you please send me a simple but complete test case, so that I can investigate it? John -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc.
