i have, over a period of serveral weeks, been trying to build 
the complete gnu development system on my i386 box running
ESIX system V unix.  i have been able to get gcc, gas, gnu ld,
robotussin, ar, et. el. to compile with some hacking, but i'm
stuck when i take these individually built pieces and try to
compile gcc with the i386-sysv-gas configuration.  the problem
occurs just after the first round of compilation and assemly has
completed, and when gnu ld kicks off the first time and tries to 
link gccnew gcc.o version.o and obstack.o.  this process will 
include the system V crt0.o file. gnu ld chokes on this, as
does robotussin.  anybody know why and what the workaround is?

( i assumed that we needed to replace the old system V as and ld
with the gnu replacements in order to activate the latter )
