| Bug report for Octave 2.0.13 configured for i386-pc-solaris2.6
| 
| Description:
| -----------
| 
| Compiler: egcs suite (gcc version egcs-2.91.57 19980901 (egcs-1.1 release))
| /usr/ccs/bin/ld
| 
| 2 Errors.
| 
| Error 1: 
|   By just running "./configure; make"
|   At the linking stage of octave, it generates an Error 2. The problem
|   is regarding undefined symbols in "Quad.o", it cliams that it cannot 
|   relocate these symbols and halts. The symbol names are obscure
|   eg ".E_L24536" 
| 
| Note* this error also occurs when using the standard gnu C,C++ (2.8.1) suite.

| Error 2:
|  src/strftime.c causes link errors as the function strftime() is aleady 
| defined in /lib/libc.a.

Can you please send the exact text of the link errors that you see?

| Error 1:
|    Edit Makeconf, replace LD_FLAG = -g with LD_FLAG = -z nodefs

Are you using the Sun linker or the GNU linker?		

Have you reported these bugs to the egcs developers?

Thanks,
