Hi, 
	I have traditionally been using 'cc' compiler that comes with
proprietory Unix systems (basically Sun and Dec-Ultrix). Recently I
setup Linux and Xfree & gcc on my pc. I need to get some kind of 
documentation regarding gcc. The man pages that comes with SLS package
of Linux for gcc is not enough. I would like to know where I can get 
a reasonably good documentation which can help a new user (say).

	And particularly, I have one specific question:
I have two libraries, libfirst.a and libsecond.a, and a particular
function has been defined in both the libraries (both definitions are
not same but slightly different). Both these libraries are needed while
linking. What I want is the linker option that will take the function 
definition from that library that is called first. Normal 'cc' doesn't 
complain but gcc gives an error message and doesn't link and form the 
executable.

	Please reply to me. Thanks.

--Badri.
