Hi Alexander,
I'm not going to suggest you change this, as polybori-0.6.4.p5.spkg has
positive review and I don't want to hold that up, as it fixes the main
issue here, which is not the linker.
Personally I would not have returned 'platform' though in the case of a
non-GNU linker, as it is a bit inconsistent to return GNU when the GNU
linker is used, and sunos, hp-ux or whatever when the GNU linker is not
used.
I think using Sun, HP, IBM etc would have been more consistent, or perhaps
return the word "native" in the case of non-GNU linker.
But it's a minor point. The main thing is your changes get this working.
There are no longer any text relocations to deal with, which only leaves
Cliquer, ECL and R which have this problem. Cliquer can be solved easily -
R and ECL are less easy, though both are ok if built with the Sun
compiler.
