Keeping in mind that I am having problems building binutils (mentioned
in a recent reply to Brian's post), here is the back trace from a
stripped version of ld using the technique you suggested.
Attaching to program `/bin/ld.exe', process 3248
[Switching to thread 3248.0x850]

This is probably useless, but just wanted to indicate I'm not ignoring
your advice. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the help Christopher,
Pete
