Running sun4c with SunOS 4.1.x. Using gcc 2.4.x for native C and C++ programs,
what are the pros & cons of using gas/gnu-ld, as opposed to suns as/ld? Are
there advantages when using gdb as debugger? The big disadvantage seems to be
the loss of using shared libraries, right?

What are the reasons for preferring one way or the other?

P.S. Why is there no gnu.binutils.help?
