Servus !

Ok After upgrading to binutils-2.8.1.0.19 and libg++-2.8.0 I finally
managed to compile QT-1.31 and main parts of KDE. I got an internal
compiler error every time I tried to compile the progress-example in the
qt-package.

But here is my question :
Why do so many configure-scripts (and ltconfig) insist that the linker
ld is not being capable building shared libraries ?
The correct position of ld is found. I don`t know how to fix this and in
result I got only static libraries in many programs (e.g. gimp-0.99.17,
....)
Mostly I invoke configure like that: CC="gcc -O6 -mpentium
-fno-exceptions" ./configure
Some configure-scripts even claim that gcc (g++) cannot produce
executables (one of my recent problem with kde-multimedia: because the
test-program should be compiled with -lsocket which the linker can`t
find) but this is rather simple to patch.

Could you give me a clue because I`m not a compiler specialist.
(I use pgcc 1.0.1 -)
