Hi,	

I'm rather new to the world of C and I needed to use
the fortran to c translater called "f2c" for some reason.
(Some Math packages out there rely on it.)
I get an error with the linker when try to "make" the library:

This is the typical makefile command:
 gcc -c -O2 whatever.c
 ld -x -r -o whatever.xxx whatever.o
 copy whatever.xxx whatever.o

gcc does OK.
However ld gives the following error:
"reloc refers to symbol `text' which is not being output"
If I drop the -x switch in ld everything goes fine.
However when I later try to build a program that uses the
library I get complaints about multiple definitions.
("whatever.c" typically refers to "signal.h"
and is mainly about input/output and error messages.)

I tried the same source on a Linux gcc it worked right out
of the box.

Any suggestions are greatly appriciated....
