It is a C++ copy constructor for an object whose class is "$_9". If ADL is written in C++, then you should use g++ to do the above link, rather than gcc. If the source files are of the form *.C, *.cpp, *.cc, or *.cxx, then gcc will compile them as C++ files, but when it comes to the above link, gcc does not know from the arguments that it needs to link C++ object files. You may only have to say "make CC=g++" to successfully make ADL. -- Steve Preston ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
