Hi, all.

I have problem with gcc. When I try  to run it on a simple file it works
perfectly, but if I give some more options ( in particular libraries) it
doesn't  work  anymore.  I  posted  a similar request weeks ago ( the -g
switch gave the same problem) but  got  no answer, as I had a workaround
for that problem I didn't insist but this time I'll need help.

The problem is this.

The command:
   gcc -v -o proc3 proc3.o -lgru -lgrx -lm

Gives me this output (libgru.a is a library of graphic utilities I  made
and put in the library directory)

I  suppose  it means it can't find libgcc.a., but why? And why it's there
twice? if I give by  hand  the  last  command  "ld.exe ..." and so on it
works! The same line!

Other info: this is the output from go32

I am using a 486 50 Mhz with DOS 6.2 and 4DOS 5.0d

DJGPP is actually on a HP workstation connected with PC-NFS as disk P:
can this be the problem?

Will the new version fix this?

Any help appreciated.
