I am running GCC 2.7.0 on my laptop, under Linux (1.2.13 kernel, Slackware
3.0 installation).  I have installed the Slackware "gcc270", "gccaout",
"binutils", and "libaout" packages (among many others).  I am using the
"fort77" Perl script (replacing the built-in f77) which hooks up to f2c
and gcc, to compile my Fortran code.

When I specify the "-b i486-linuxaout" compiler flag, in order to get the
correct leading underscore in all of my external function references, I
do not get a proper object file.  Instead, the compiler output is WRITTEN
to "i486-linuxaout".  Naturally, when my next source file is compiled, the
output is also written to that file, instead of to the correct "foobar.o"
object file.  Trivially, my link step fails because there are no object
files to be linked!

Here is an example of what I'm talking about (eigen.f exists and is a valid
Fortran 77 file, as I have verified on other platforms)

	% make eigen.o TARGET_ARCH=i486-linuxaout
	f77  -b i486-linuxaout -c eigen.f -o eigen.o
	eigen.f:
	   eigen:
	% ls eigen* i486*
	eigen.f         i486-linuxaout

What am I doing wrong here?  Anything?
