Re: trouble with autotools/berkeley db

    I think -R is an alias for --rpath-link.  Has the long option been
    removed as well?  In which gcc version?

3.4.x, currently 3.4.3.  

$ gcc -R/usr/local/gnu/lib hello.cc
gcc: unrecognized option `-R/usr/local/gnu/lib'

$ gcc --rpath-link /usr/local/gnu/lib hello.cc
cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-frpath-link"

rpath-link doesn't appear in the manual, so I guess it's intentional
that it's gone, not just an oversight.  Seems like this will break many,
many, Makefiles, configure scripts, etc.  Sigh.
