I'm trying to compile lang/gcc3-c++ on IRIX 5.3.
It stops as follows:

checking whether the C compiler (
/usr/people/schwarz/pkgsrc/lang/gcc3-c++/work/gcc-3.3.3/gcc/xgcc
-B/usr/people/schwarz/pkgsrc/lang/gcc3-c++/work/gcc-3.3.3/gcc/
-B/usr/local/pkg/gcc3/mips-sgi-irix5.3/bin/
-B/usr/local/pkg/gcc3/mips-sgi-irix5.3/lib/ -isystem
/usr/local/pkg/gcc3/mips-sgi-irix5.3/include -O2 -O2
-I/usr/local/pkg/include ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
gmake: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1


work/gcc-3.3.3/mips-sgi-irix5.3/libiberty/config.log  contains:

/usr/bin/../lib/ld:
Unknown flag: -rpath,/usr/local/pkg/gcc3/lib
/usr/bin/../lib/ld: Usage: /usr/bin/../lib/ld [options] file [...] 

it is true that on IRIX 5.3 ld supports only -rpath pathname(s), i.e.
without comma.
Does anyone know what is causing that problem? Shouldn't gcc rewrite
these options before calling ld? Is it a buildlink-related problem?
