I was having a problem with 2.7.0 not finding symbols in any of my non-stdc
(c++, X...) libraries, so instead of figuring out what was out of whack, I
just decided it was time for a full upgrade to 2.7.2.  As before with my
upgrage from 2.6.whatever, I installed the new ld.so, binutils, gcc-2.7.2,
and libc/libg++ libraries.  However, now, when I run LD, I get an error
message along the lines of:

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a: file format not recognized
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a:1: parse error

This goes for ANY library.  An strace shows that the linker is going through
the library file several times and then bombing.  I've run ldconfig several
times, and my ldscripts are fine.  What could be going on?

TIA,
Chad
