Recently minar@reed forwarded a helpful looking document by thomas@bach to
this group on the problem of getting g++ etc. working on a DEC 3100. I've been
trying to get gcc.1.39 to work on our DEC 2100, but I get a barf in the 

	make CC=stage1/gcc CFLAGS="-g -O -Bstage1/" >&! ../MAKELOG-2 &

stage. The log file contains the following message:

	ld:
	Can't locate file for: -lg
	ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...]
	*** Error code 1

and I don't seem to be able to get round it. If I copy libg.a to /usr/local/lib
I get the following:

ld:
Can't read archive header in: /usr/local/lib/libg.a (No such file or directory)
ld: Usage: ld [options] file [...]
*** Error code 1

Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks for your time and bandwidth.
