I've Cc'd freebsd-hackers in an attempt to reach a wider audience.

With the help of Michael E. Mercer [mmercer@ipass.net] I'm now using gcc's
"-aout" option (which appears to be undocumented) but I still get the
following message when compiling on 3.1R,

	% gcc -aout test.c libInOldAoutFormat.a
	ld: crt0.o: No such file or directory

Again,

1. Is this possible?
2. Are there instructions for doing this?

Thanks,
Charles
