			   Groff Installation Report

GROFF VERSION: 1.06
MACHINE: Sun SPARCstation 1
OS: SunOS 4.1.1
COMPILER: gcc 2.2.2(with groff gcc.patch), gas 1.38.1, gld 2.0/1.94
INPUT FILES: groff 1.06 configure script
COMMAND LINE: ./configure
DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:
When I type ./configure using gld 2.0 I get the message:

gcc -O is not installed correctly: static constructors and destructors do not work

When I revert back to gld 1.94-beta the problem goes away.
I realize this is a gld bug but it might be something that could be added to
the PROBLEMS file or put as a warning in the INSTALL file. Maybe it could be
incorporated into the configure script itself ? 

Thanks.
