I grepped around looking for a list of error codes and came up short.

Here is the error message, edited a bit for company para^H^H^H^H confi-
-dentiality...

ld: 0711-302 ERROR: Object ../foo/foo.a[busted.c], csect <_busted.rw_c>
	The csect is part of the .text section and relocation entries
	from the csect have been written to the .loader section.
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.
collect2: ld returned 8 exit status

I might add that I did, indeed, specify the -bloadmap option and the
compile just waltzed past it.

The call in the makefile parsed out to 
gcc -Wall -Wno-implicit -Wno-unused -bnoquiet -bloadmap:ERRORS -o file
 -I (various includes) -D(various -Ds) ../various/dot.a -lm

This is using 2.6.3 gnu on AIX 4.1 on a RS6000.

This stuff all compiled with the same gnu ported for Sun, Solaris, HP.
Its just the AIX one that is acting up.

What is a csect? What is the .text section? What is the .loader section?
Is this all something that happens with a bad install?  If so, is there
some mysterious Seekrit Process that I need to be aware of?

Email is better, I hate seeing the net get flooded with "Booter, you
ignorant slut" messages.
