I was planning to upgrade 1.59 -> 1.62 for our few remaining SunOS 4.1.4
platforms and appear to have hit the same bug compiling exim-1.62 with gcc
2.6.3 and SunOS ld. Is my only option to get Gnu ld built for this environment ?
(in which case I probably wont bother, since these machines will become
Solaris 2.5.1 machines sometime soon-ish).
Thanks,
DHS
