Hi I downloaded and installed Sun GCC for Sun Sparc (GCCFSS) and then have been using Sun ld as linker. But I have a requirement wherein I should use GNU ld. So I downloaded binutils 2.18 and compiled using gccfss and Sun ld. After which, I tried to use gnu ld and get the following warning and error : /usr/local/bin/ld: /usr/local/solaris-gcc/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/4.2.1/li bgcc_eh.a(unwind-dw2.o): warning: sh_link not set for section `.eh_frame%base_of_encoded_value' /usr/local/bin/ld: /usr/local/solaris-gcc/gcc/bin/../lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/4.2.1/li bgcc_eh.a(unwind-dw2.o): warning: sh_link not set for section `.eh_frame%base_of_encoded_value' /usr/local/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value I would very much appreciate your help and advice.
