Hi,

Yesterday I fetched, compiled, and installed gcc v2.3.1.
We have sun4s running sunos 4.1.1.  I have a few questions,
which are probably ridiculously simple, but the answers
don't seem obvious right now.

1.  Should I be using gas and gld?  Right now, I use neither
    and the objects are linked dynamically (which I think is
    great).

2.  Where do the g++ header/include files come from?  I seem
    to be lacking them.
    (If I just need to ftp another piece of GNU stuff from 
     somewhere, this is great, but could this bit of info
     perhaps be added to the INSTALL file?  Thanks.)

3.  What is the libgcc.a used for?  It was installed under
    /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc.../2.3.1 and is a collection
    of objects that can be used in static linking.  I'm asking
    because I wonder how this works with/against dynamic linking
    on our suns.

4.  Finally, what is "glibc-1.05" (seen in this group) and why
    (?) do I need it?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.  My apologies if I've
overlooked the answers in the INSTALL, but I really did read it.
