Upon reflection, my assertion can probably be totally disregarded. GCC should use its specs file to determine which libraries to use, regardless of the order the linker would look for them in. Of course, it would be applicable if any of the library's location are determined by the linker, or there is any package that may try to link to the GCC libraries for whatever reason. This would be something that a toolchain expert needs to evaluate. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.28] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 06:14:01 up 30 days, 17:51, 2 users, load average: 0.08, 0.66, 0.62 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
