I don't see the relevence to problem at hand. The Makefile that contains the currect hack that's causing the problem doesn't exist at configure time either. If your proposed solution of creating new programs to execute as and ld were implemented then these new programs would also not exist at configure time. It's not a problem in configure that's causing the bootstrap failure, it's a bug in the Makefile. Ross Ridge
