bus errors on ld (was Re: as,nm,ar segfaulting while building libgcc)

[Phil Edwards]

Well, for the record (or the list archives at least), these messages
I reported

>    collect2: ld terminated with signal 10 [Bus Error]

were brought on by --gc-sections, which I had forgotten we were using
when building libstdc++-v3.  Some of the iconv stuff was being garbage
collected for some reason.  (I myself would never have figured this out;
thanks go to Benjamin.)

This flag has been disabled for now, which solves that problem and
exposes the next one.  :-)  Passing -static on solaris still needs to
find libdl... hmmm.  Anyhow.


Thanks for the tips,
Phil
