Archive-name: auto/comp.sys.3b1/collect-for-gcc-g-2-2-2

I've merged the functionality of shld into collect2 version 2.2.2.
When installed as /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/3b1/2.2.2/ld it will handle
the global constructors and destructors for g++, as well as only
use the shared library to resolve otherwise unknown symbols (just
as shld does for "gcc -shlib" alone, and shcc does as a replacement
for cc).

The file can be picked up as collect.shar.Z in the directory
pub/3b1 on ftp.cs.caltech.edu.  It contains the unlinked objects
for collect2.  If you prefer to compile collect2 yourself, diffs
for the sources are included.  It will create an additional
C source file that contains the information in /lib/shlib.ifile
(which is included when making collect) as well as a library
libminic.a that contains the routines from libc.a that are not
contained in the shared library.  This information varies depending
on the version of the OS, so I haven't included a binary.

Over the next week or two I'll look at compiling groff 1.5 with
g++ 2.2.2 (actually cross compile, but I needed collect2 working
since linking must be done on the 3b1).

cc1plus isn't in the gcc2 binary distribution.  You can pick up
the tar file pub/3b1/gcc2-objects/cc1plus.tar.Z, extract all the
.o files, and link them together to get cc1plus.  I've haven't
been able to link cc1plus with the shared library (shld and 
collect2 both dump core -- I'm don't know why), but there's no
problem if you don't use the shared library.
