The operating system is SunOS 4.1.2, on a sparc2. While building gcc 2.2.2, it seems I have a choice of using (or not using) collect2. I have built both gcc and g++. The default configuration built and installed collect2. Now we can use shared libraries (very nice!). I want to keep using the shared libraries. X based executables are huge! without shared libs. Is collect2 really necessary? Or is it preferred? We used gnu-ld with gcc-1.40. The main reason I want to continue to use gnu's ld instead of collect2 is, I miss the details gnu-ld gives about the source of unresolved references. Of course, maybe I can use collect2 with gnu's ld? -Larry
