Thanks for the help, *but* considering that the line CC="gcc
-B/usr/bin/" is just setting the CC environment variable I don't
understand why that would make a difference. Am I missing some subtle
point here? Either way, I did try that and had the same result as the
first time ("--hash-style" being an unrecognised option of ld).
I've resorted to using binutils-2.18 in it's place and I'm about
finished chapter 5. Hopefully
using a later version of binutils doesn't cause me any grief later on.
Cheers
