Hi!


Would appreciate any insight as we are unfortunately again... stuck.

Originally, when attempting to compile and link our dll on Red Hat Linux 6.1, 
using:

: c++ compiler =  g++  2.95.2
: Linker:
: GNU ld 2.9.5

We encountered the following linker error:

"/usr/bin/ld: bfd assertion : fail elf32-i386.c:633"

This appeared to be a problem with the assembler.  Mr. Lu provided a new 
assembler which appeared
to resolve the bfd error.  If we manually created *.s files and then created 
*.o files using the new

assembler, no bfd error.  We, however, noticed a problem with our application.  
It appears that it
is
necessary for collect2 to run.  This causes a recompilation and when the dll is 
re-linked we again
encounter the bfd error.  We are trying to find a way in which the bfd error is 
resolved (by using
the
new assembler) and then allowing automatic use of collect2 to produce a dll 
without errors.

Would appreciate any help with this issue.


Thank you,
