Since someone asked again I did say yes to the ELF thing. I am using
slackware.
ld -v says:
GNU ld version 2.8.2 (with BFD 2.8.1.0.23)
gcc -v says:
Reading specs from
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1/egcs-2.90.29/specs
gcc version
egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)
I don't think I tried to recompile the compiler since I have no idea what
the command would be to accomplish that.
