Thanks for that!

I have come a bit further, but I still have problems - it seems that there
are problems with the library search path. I have to add -L/usr/lib to get
it to work.

Now, it just complains about lots of duplicate method definitions and a
few other problems. A problem may be that the libgcj and gcc are built
using /usr/bin/ld, because I cannot compile a simple c program with my ld:

% gcc -o hello_world hello_world.c
/usr/lib/crt0.o(.text+0x95): undefined reference to `__DYNAMIC'
/usr/lib/crt0.o(.text+0xa4): undefined reference to `__DYNAMIC'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is the command line that invokes ld in this case:

/usr/pkg/cross/libexec/binutils/ld --format=a.out-i386-netbsd -L/usr/lib
-e start -dc -dp -o hello_world /usr/lib/crt0.o
-L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-unknown-netbsd1.4.1/2.95.1 -L/usr/local/lib
/var/tmp/ccgAxgdX.o -lgcc -lc -lgcc

I want to be able to compile a C-program with this ld and recompile gcj
(and possibly all of gcc) before I proceed with gcj now.

Sorry! Done.

Anders (who originally wanted to simply *install* gcj, but ended up trying
to port it...)
