That should be -B/usr/ccs/bin/. The trailing "/" is required because
gcc just appends the name to the option so it will try to find
/usr/ccs/binld, which probably doesn't exist.
Thanks. Updated patch attached. (Martin: before you notice, I made
sure there were _two_ spaces after the periods this time. I know you
care :-)

** SunOS/Solaris
+*** Dumping error when using GNU binutils / GNU ld on a Sun.
+
+Errors similar to the following:
+
+ Dumping under the name xemacs unexec():
+ dldump(/space/rpluim/xemacs-obj/src/xemacs): ld.so.1: ./temacs:
+ fatal: /space/rpluim/xemacs-obj/src/xemacs: unknown dynamic entry:
+ 1879048176
+
+are caused by using GNU ld. There are several workarounds available:
+
+In XEmacs 21.2 or later, configure using the new portable dumper
+(--pdump).
+
+Alternatively, you can link using the Sun version of ld, which is
+normally held in /usr/ccs/bin. This can be done by adding
+-B/usr/ccs/bin/ to CFLAGS used to configure XEmacs, or by uninstalling
+GNU ld. Note: The trailing '/' there is significant.

*** Link failure when using acc on a Sun.
To use acc, you need additional options just before the libraries, such as
