Re: [MLUG] gcc/oracle/ld question

[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

*grin* Have you ever tried to do this?  I hesitate to mess with ANY 
heavily used libraries such as this, due to the fact that things like 
cp/ls/etc. depend on a lot of those libraries.
Further, the issue seems to be more the linker - ld.  It's like the 
64bit version of ld is trying to do the linking and thus causing the 
problem.  Anyways, I did try your suggestion - no luck.  Any other 
suggestions out there?
Thanks!
Jason
