I'm trying to follow the new howto:
http://www.delorie.com/howto/djgpp/linux-x-djgpp.html

I'm working on SuSe Linux 6.0, and the first problem occurs in building
binutils: everything appears to build correctly, but when I run the new
ld command, I get the following error:

$ ld/ld-new -V
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1)
  Supported emulations:
   i386go32
ld/ld-new:built in linker script:24: parse error

This occurs when I configure with the recommended
--target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. The problem does not occur if I use the
more traditional --target=i486-go32-msdos, but the build of gcc-2.8.1
for that target fails.

Has anybody seen anything like this, and if so, have they solved it? Am
I just running the wrong version of Linux?
