Re: 22.0.98 build problem

[Ryan Yeske <rcyeske@gmail.com>]

   I ran "configure --build=powerpc-unknown-openbsd4.0", which is
   probably not a totally faithful simulation of what you are doing, but
   configure correctly picked up the definition of LINKER from s/netbsd.h
   and used this to set LD=$(CC) -nostartfiles in src/Makefile.in. This
   is apparently equivalent to -nostdlib on your platform. So the
   relevant question might be, why did this not happen for you?

   Maybe the code in m/macppc.h:

   #if defined(__OpenBSD__)
   #define ORDINARY_LINK
   #endif

   defines ORDINARY_LINK, which looks like it would cause Makefile.in to
   set LD = $(CC).

   This could all be total junk, so don't invest too much time on the
   basis of this. Does it work if you delete those lines from macppc.h?
   Up to 7 years ago (!) ORDINARY_LINK was also defined for NetBSD. Maybe
   it should no longer be defined on OpenBSD either. Hand-wave,
   hand-wave.

Thanks for the useful pointers here.  Yes, when I remove those lines
it does link.  Here is exactly what I did:

Unfortunatly, I get a segfault in the next step.  Any idea how to go
about debugging this issue?
