Sorry, I should have told you:

nickrob/21 ld -v
GNU ld version 2.16.91.0.6 20060212

I've not used ld directly but gcc:

nickrob/22 gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --disable-dssi --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --with-cpu=generic --host=i386-redhat-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3)

I get the output I mentioned with the following simple recipe:

myprog.c
----------------
main ()
{
  myprint ();
}


myprint.c
---------------
void myprint ()
{
  mysquare6();
}


cc -g -c myprint.c
cc -g myprog.c myprint.o

If current ld gives different output, could you please post it so that I can
check that Emacs can indeed parse it.


Thanks,

Nick


PS cc -v -g myprog.c myprint.o gives:
