Linker not able to locate std libraries

[Michael Anburaj]

Hi Sung-Kun,

Its bit confusing now...

What is the standard method of invoking the linker (ld or gcc)? Please point 
me to a document that talks about this in detail.

Clipping from my make files (its originally YAMONÂ’s -MIPS.com):

TOOLCHAIN = cygnus

ifeq ($(TOOLCHAIN),cygnus)
CC        = mipsisa32-elf-gcc
LD        = mipsisa32-elf-ld
OBJCOPY   = mipsisa32-elf-objcopy
OBJDUMP   = mipsisa32-elf-objdump
endif

ifeq ($(TOOLCHAIN),sde)
CC        = sde-gcc
LD        = sde-ld
OBJCOPY   = sde-objcopy
OBJDUMP   = sde-objdump
endif

Thanks for your response...
-Mike.
