Do you need INSERT BEFORE or would it just work to specify the .lds fragment on the ld command line without -T? > >>>> Finally, please point me to how I can install FreeBSD in viritualbox >>>> or similar.

Last time I tried to install system documentation and source code, and it tried to install the package manager but maybe it failed and then put things in a broken state.

What should I do for building the tools? I keep seeing 'gcc not found'.
