I have a August-2002 eMac, a PowerPC G4 system running on Tiger (10.4). I've installed GCC 4.6 on it from MacPorts. I'm able to compile a "Hello World" program from a single file. However, I just tried making a multi-part program and it failed. The catch is that I didn't let GCC-4.6 do the linking; I'm using Boost and its custom Jam, and its steps show that it's choking on "/usr/bin/ld: unknown flag: --start-group" while building the final product. (Each source file compiles to an object file just fine.) I guess it's using the built-in linker that Apple supplies, so a Darwin-style linker can't process non-Darwin object files. Is there some sort of compatible linker I can download (from MacPorts)? Or somehow set GCC-4.6 to do all the linking?
