Bug#1643: ld gets fatal eror when linking for profiling

1995-11-08 Thread Michael E. Deisher
[Reminder: ld fails when gcc is used with both -g and -lm flags] I'm surprised no one else is complaining about this bug since it really hinders software development under Debian. For anyone who is interested, one solution is just to install the experimental elf-gcc package. This one works fine
