question about ld and shared libraries...

[Ed Hartnett]

Howdy all!

When trying to compile a fortran program in my configure script, I get
the following output in config.log:

configure:5956: gfortran -o conftest -L/usr/local/lib  conftestf.o conftest.o  
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libgfortranbegin.a when 
searching for -lgfortranbegin
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.so when searching 
for -lgfortran
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.a when searching 
for -lgfortran
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching 
for -lgcc_s
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching 
for -lgcc_s

What makes ld skip these libraries?

The libaries are all recently created when I built gcc 4.1.0 on my
machine, including gfortran.

So what the heck is ld complaining about?

Thanks!

Ed
