(I'm looking at the source now and I don't see that option). Ahh, okay. Yes, your original question was not clear that you wanted to stop there, and capture this collect2 temporary file for constructors. I do not know the options for collect2 (I presume many of them are the same as the linker, since collect2 mimics the linker in many respects), and I cannot find a collect2 man page via Google. I recommend looking at it's source. HTH, --Eljay
