Hello Camm Maguire,

I have tried the new gcl switches. They did not work for me.
Details below.

using:
LFS 6.0 CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu system, Binutils 2.15, gcc 3.3.1)
Binutils 2.15.90.0.3 20040415 (This system is a bit experimental, but it is 
what I normally use for Maxima, Texmacs, Pari,..)
I will try the SUSE 9.1 distro later).

CVS Axiom checkout today, 30-June. I used Tim's instructions to patch 
lsp/Makefile.pamphlet line 266.

        ./configure --enable-vssize=65536*2 --disable-statsysbfd 
--enable-maxpage=128*1024 --enable-locbfd ; \
=> fails as before

        ./configure --enable-vssize=65536*2 --disable-statsysbfd 
--enable-maxpage=128*1024 --enable-custreloc ; \
=> fails as before

Btw, i mixed the Binutils up in the list i sent before. The correct list lokes 
like this:

SUSE 9.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu system, Binutils 2.15.90, gcc 3.3.1) => fail
        Binutils 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040303 (Suse Linux)
LFS 5.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu system, Binutils 2.14, gcc 3.3.1) => ok.
        Binutils 2.14 20030612
LFS 6.0 CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu system, Binutils 2.15, gcc 3.3.1) => fail
        Binutils 2.15.90.0.3 20040415
