printf denies redirection

[chenyu]

Hi, everyone
 I'm encoutering a problem with ld.
 First, I compile and link my program as follows:
 gcc -Wl,-r -Wl,-d -static try.c -o try.o
 ld -q try.o -o try.out

The little program try.c is like this:

===========================
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    printf("this is just a try\n");
    return 0;
}
===========================


./try.out
./try.out &> try.log
The first one gives a good output, the second fails, there is nothing 
in file try.log. The output simply could not be redirected.

The compiler I use is a cross compiler generated by gcc 3.4.1 to work on 
a mips platform, and the ld version is GNU ld 041021.

All I want to do is to create a statically linked executable file with 
address information, relocation information and common symbols. Then 
this file could be used as the input file of ALTO(A Link Time 
Optimizer). However, when I do this, the output of the file could not be 
redirected. What's wrong with it?

BTW, if anyone happens to be dealing with ALTO too, would you please 
give me some advice on how to port it to a mips platform? It originally 
works on Alpha. And I haven't subscribed this mailing list, so please 
send the letter directly to my mail box. Thanks a lot.

Best Wishes
