Actually, the compiler's fine. It's always issued this warning for linker options, whether or not they are input files. > > mips64-linux-gnu-ld -V -static -t -EB getopt.o -o getopt > > GNU ld version 2.13-mips64linux-031001 20020920 > > This toolchain is very old, and unlikely to work correctly for mips64. It should be binary compatible with current toolchains, more or less; I've used it before. The problem is in Alex's environment. Alex, whatever you're setting to force use of the cross compilers, it's wrong. You should _never_ link directly with ld. That's the error here. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
