This problem has been mentioned by a few people previously.
The other people also had Sun 4's, but I have a Sun 3, and the
problem is the same there.

It is some bug in the code in the g++ release.  I was able to
circumvent the problem by uncompresing the file ld.c.Z I found at
labrea.stanford.edu and using this ld.c in place of the one in the
g++ distribution.  So far, I have had no problems with this switch.

I'm not sure whether the ld.c there is an old version or if it
is a newer version with bug fixes, but I'd like to thank whoever
put it there...
