Re: cannot build xemacs-21.1.9 on mips-sgi-irix6.5

Sounds like a question of which _linker_ is used, not which compiler. Which one gcc uses is determined by the --with-gnu-ld flag used when configuring gcc. The system ld comes for free, so folks are more likely to install gcc than gnu ld (part of binutils).
