   Figured that the linker couldnt take -L paths ; so I looked for the 
   argument in the text files and couldnt find it ?!?

   Anyone have a quick rescue ?

	I don't think so.  ehgasm2@uts.mcc.ac.uk (Simon Marshall) posted the
same question in December and I don't know if he was ever successful.
Basically, the linker that DYNIX 3.0 has is broken when it comes to building
GNU C.  Try upgrading to DYNIX 3.1 or 3.2.  I am not kidding.

	On another note, has anyone got gcc to work completely with DYNIX's
(any version) dbx?  I've been looking into it and it seems that dbx is fussy
about the stabs information it gets.  First of all it complains about bad
LBRAC/RBRAC nesting because gcc doesn't put block level numbers in the output,
but this is easily fixed.  Unfortunately you also can't access variables
declared inside nested blocks.  The only explanation for this I have is that
dbx requires the variable information to be inline with the code, while gcc
puts it at the end of the function and I can't seem to convince it to do
otherwise.  Has anyone else been more successful?  I'm running DYNIX 3.2.
