Hello
I have bootstaped gcc 2.95.3 and binutils 2.20 without gnu ld. Now I am tried to build gcc 3.4.6. Unfortunately I can not make to work tgcware binary on my system (Powerseries 4D/420 IRIX 5.3 XFS).
Tgcware's gcc-3.4.6 patches have been applied.

IRIX ld reports error call-shared Elf object "/opt/gnu/gcc-3.4.6_build/gcc/crtbegin.o" cannot be linked shared:

I have tried to recreate crtbegin.o with -shared option but the result was the same - ld error: call-shared Elf object "/opt/gnu/gcc-3.4.6_build/gcc/crtbegin.o" cannot be linked shared
googling "call-shared Elf" does not help me unfortunately.

Also during building gcc-3.4.6 gnu as reports warning (No .frame pseudo-op used in PIC code) for several files including crtbegin:

Did you install patch 1068 for IRIX 5.3?

Not yet, I will try
Thanks
