Glen:
        I used old_ld for compiling gcc, because was claimed ld should have 
problems to manage symbol information generated from gcc -g (or something like 
that, this is from memory).
        I saw recently similar advice for compile gcc, using ld and modifying 
speces file.
        I could put a binary package available by ftp, if that helps.
        Thanks for your work in Swarm!
