Hi,

I've finally installed gcc 2.8.1. Mostly works fine, but:

1) executables produced by the linker have permissions 644 instead of 755.
How to fix that? (i.e. how to force the linker to assign proper
permissions, not "how to use chmod 755 filename...").

2) lib names still look weird for me. These look mostly normal (finally)
but baserel libraries have 'b' inserted in the middle, and i have
lots of "blib.." style libs. Is it configurable? I.e. is there a
way to force the linker to search for "blib..." filenames?

I really have no particular lust for renaming some 30 files or making same
amount of symbolic links. Especially if this seems to change at
each gcc release. Any hope for a normalization?

Gtx,

You could try to set uname, but the only thing that worked for me was to
insert a "chmod a+x $@" in the Makefile.

You lucky man!

I have spent 4 evenings trying to install 2.8.1, and now even if I
reinstall the compiler part of KGMD, gcc gives me "Installation Problems:
cannot `exec ld`".

When people port gcc, I wish they would provide a tar.gz file INCLUDING
the bin utils, libs (if the names have changed), and a README in English
AND their native language if different. Then you counld un-tar it from
'/', having read the README.

It would be nice to see it going into '/usr/local'.

And, if anyone has any ideas how to get my 'ld' working again, please let
me know.

Thanks/.

Salut/.

Do you have a link to ld in /bin? or perhaps old linker still sits there?
