Thanks for sending the log. gcc 3.3.2 is pretty old and I don't have a copy online. Looking at gcc 4.0, it looks like this would happen if gcc were configured with --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld, or if gcc were configured with the environment variable DEFAULT_LINKER set to /usr/bin/ld. That would override the -B option. Otherwise I have no explanation. Ian
