I installed egcs, and got an error involving c++rt0 when I tried to
compile. Then I did an ugly thing. ; )

sevn{locnar}/usr/lib$ ln -s aout/c++rt0.o c++rt0.o
sevn{locnar}/usr/lib$ ls -la
total 7
drwxr-xr-x   4 root  wheel   512 Oct  6 16:21 .
drwxr-xr-x  25 root  wheel  1024 Oct  6 10:49 ..
drwxr-xr-x   2 root  wheel  4096 Oct  5 22:15 aout
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel    13 Oct  6 16:21 c++rt0.o -> aout/c++rt0.o
drwxr-xr-x   3 root  wheel  1024 Oct  5 22:06 compat


And it compiled this time.  ; )


Thanks for all the help.
