AST Users,

I prevailed upon our UNIX Sys Admin to download (from the AST download web site), build, and install ksh on two of our NetBSD hosts. On one of the hosts, "italy", the build succeeded and the ksh executable works fine, but for the other host, "build-bsd-n", he reported:

        Compilation on NetBSD 1.5 (build-bsd-[p,n]) failed with the
        following error, and I don't know if there is a workaround:

                /usr/bin/ld: option `-li' is ambiguous
                collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
                mamake [cmd/ksh93]: *** exit code 1 making ksh

Please advise.

NOTE:
1) He copied the newly-built ksh executable that worked on "italy" over to "build-bsd-n", but reported that it "didn't work". 2) The build failed on the host that has an older OS version and an older version of "ld".

#==============  Build failed on this host ================
