Re: 21.4.14 Linking Question

I just built 21.4.14 and am now seeing the following:
Linking with `-z nocombreloc'.
- Consider configuring with --pdump.
1) Is this new to 21.4.14?
2) Is this new to gcc 3.3 (first time I am using it)?
3) Is this new to my particular build of gcc (using gnu binutils, Solaris 7)?
4) What is this telling me?
This is telling you that your version of gcc has a peculiarity in how
it runs the loader and configure added '-z nocombreloc' to the linker
commands. One of the recent versions (within the last year or so) of
gcc and binutils made this necessary. If you search the mailing list
archives for combreloc you'll probably find much of the relevant
discussion.
You can avoid this entire commentary by configuring with the portable
dumper (--pdump) - that avoids the unexec process which causes the
problems.
