No, we did not follow it. I was not aware it existed. So the problem becomes, how do we tell GCC to use /usr/gnu/bin/as when it is driving the build process. It looks like we may still have some trouble, though. As I understand things, we need Binutils 2.24 but 2.23 is provided by Sun/Oracle: $ /usr/gnu/bin/as -V GNU assembler version 2.23.1 (i386-pc-solaris2.11) using BFD version (GNU Binutils) 2.23.1 Jeff
