>Originator:     Bill Trost
>Release:        FreeBSD 4.0-20000208-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Trost Computing
>Environment:

	Stock 4.0-RELEASE-to-be, with all the 2.x and 3.x compat libraries.

>Description:

	If you specify "-aout" on the cc command line, you get the
	error message "ld: crt0.o: No such file or directory" (or
	c++rt0.o if -shared is specified).

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ echo 'main() {print("Oh, Hell World.\n");}' > foo.c
	$ cc -aout foo.c

>Fix:

	Got me -- I don't understand the a.out magic well enough to
	start diagnosing it.  If I remove crt.o from the ld command line,
	ld then complains about libgcc.a having bad magic -- presumably
	it is using the wrong library.
