Hello,

  few days ago I reported problems building g++ on an SGI IRIS running
IRIX 3.3.1. I stated that "native"-ld complains about not finding symbols
__DTOR__ and __CTOR__. I also stated that I was not able to build l++,
because the usage of macro N_TXTOF did not confirm to the definition
in SGI's a.out.h file. Now somebody (Thank you Don) told me to use
ld from the binutils distribution, it should do the same job. Unfortunately
it doesn't, because it has the same problem with N_TXTOF. So my question
is again: are there working and "officially" gnu-supported versions of
gas, gdb and ld available for the mips/iris architecture?

 I am also a bit confused about places where I can find gnu software on the
net. As I understand prep.ai.mit.edu id the first and official place to look,
but I've also found a great selection of gnu-distributions on
labrea.stanford.edu. These seem to mostly the same, some older and some
newer versions compared with prep.ai (and some mips stuff that I have to
check). Can somebody try to explain the relations of both sources?
