  Hello folks...I just built a gcc v2.4.3 cross-compiler to run on my
Sparc machine (SunOS 4.1.3) and produce executables for a Sun3 system
(SunOS4.1.1).  I used ./configure --host=sun4-sunos4.1.3
--target=sun3-sunos4.1.1.  I haven't tried anything big yet, but
simple test programs compile & link ok and run fine when ftp'd to the
Sun3 box.

  The problem is this: all the executables produced by the
cross-compiler appear to be statically linked.  I've put all the
shared libraries in /usr/local/sun3-sunos4.1.1 and it's finding
everything else just fine, it's just not dynamically linking them.
I'm using gnu ld from the binutils-2.1.1 distribution, that I placed
in /usr/local/sun3-sunos4.1.1/bin.  Is this something that just
doesn't work with cross-compilation, or am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas?

  Here's some output:


  With the cross-compiler:

  And with the native compiler:

See what I mean?
