:sparc64 compilation environment (did you say you were compiling on an
:ultrasparc?).

Are you suggesting gcc rather than ld as the value of LINKER?

I'm on a Sparcstation20 with a Ross HyperSparc CPU.  I have previously
compiled successfully on this machine so it's (probably) not a global
issue.

:Try compiling with the sparc32 command ("sparc32 make all"), which
:should fake the build into thinking sparc-linux, instead of
:sparc64-linux.

Tried it with no joy.

I've picked over the make output and don't see any extra flags being
passed to gcc or ld.  Do you know of any environment variables or
other oddiments that could change the build environment?

Thanks for your help,
