I'm think that the only one way is to check in compiler documentation. In most of cases in *nixes C compilers call platform native linker with some additional parameters if necessary. The only exception are compilers like OpenWatcom which comes with own alternative set of C headers and CRTL libraries not compatible with system ones but it's rather seldom situation. > We never call ld directly, we always call it through gcc. > Maybe we should change this also to direct ld calls.

Sometimes C compiler have to pass some additional parameters to inform linker about some settings necessary for compiled binaries and/or CRTL libraries and calling LD directly we will not pass such parameters so we can create some serious problems. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
