Hi. I've compiled gcc-2.3.1 successfully (I thought) on a variety of architectures here: Sun 3, Sparc, SGI, MIPS, DEC stations. Shortly afterwards, I received complaints from 3 or 4 people that gcc wasn't finding their libraries anymore. This was something I noticed myself when I tried building libg++ 2.2 for the MIPS. During the test suite, -lg++ failed to work and no amount of shuffling the library around would make gcc see it. This was not a problem with gcc-2.2.2, however. Is this a new bug? Some of the software I support uses really complex makefiles and I'd rather not edit them to get -L/usr/gnu/lib in all of them. Gcc also seems to be fussy about static and shared libs. (A couple of people here have complained of this as well.) If this is not an obvious bug, perhaps I should take a closer look at my setup. (I built it the same way I made gcc-2.2.2 and that worked.)
