I posted the following a few days ago:

*********************************************************************
Has anyone stumbled into the following problem when installing GNU CC
on a Sun3/50 (Sun Unix 4.2):

	Compiling gcc-1.38 using cc (stage 1) works fine.

	Compiling gcc-1.38 using gcc (stage 2) blows up...

stage1/gcc -g -O -Bstage1/ -I. -I/u1/singhvk/MASc/gcc-1.38/src -I/u1/singhvk/

ld: -c: bad flag
*** Error code 1

	Seems that a "-c" flag is being passed to ld ?!?  I've
	compiled a small program using "stage1/gcc -C ..." 
	(ie: compile, assemble, don't link) without a problem
	so the compiler itself is probably fine.
	Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
*********************************************************************

The following change to "tm-sun3.h" seems to work (ie: the install
procedure, including stage3, works fine):

#define LINK_SPEC "%{!e*:-e start} -dc -dp %{g:-Bstatic} 
%{static:-Bstatic} %{-Bstatic}"

to

#define LINK_SPEC "%{!e*:-e start}"

---> ld was complaining about receiving -c and -B flags <---

	VIJ...
