  Perhaps that is due to a bug in your gcc. In gcc-2.7.x, the option
"-B" (and also "-v") worked just fine, but gcc-2.95.x seems not to
work. A workaround could be to install gcc as well as binutils into a
private directory. *sigh*

  Please report any bug! I haven't ever heard this. Doesn't FreeBSD
support O_SYNC? I thought it should have, because O_SYNC is defined in
POSIX. In FreeBSD, how to ensure that I/O operations are synchronous?

Thanks,
