Then add -I to ld. We had the similar problem with as when we moved
to ELF. This is in gcc 2.7.2.3:
#undef ASM_SPEC
#define ASM_SPEC \
"%{V} %{v:%{!V:-V}} %{Qy:} %{!Qn:-Qy} %{n} %{T} %{Ym,*} %{Yd,*} %{Wa,*:%*}"
This is in gcc today:
#define ASM_SPEC \
"%{v:-V} %{Qy:} %{!Qn:-Qy} %{n} %{T} %{Ym,*} %{Yd,*} %{Wa,*:%*}"
People who use my new Linux binutils and gcc 2.7.2.3 have to patch
the gcc source or the specs file. Otherwise, "gcc -V" won't work.
