Please try the ELF version of gcc-2.7.0 that I will upload as soon as
buster allows me to get in.  Unlike the previous ELF versions, this
one was compiled by me and has the i486-linuxelf prefix built in so it
doesn't need any script kluges.  If you're not daring enough to try
2.7.0, I'll try to locate the ELF patches for 2.6.3 and compile it
myself.

David

David,

Please update the gcc-elf package to use this replacement for 
/usr/bin/gcc-elf. Though I haven't had problems with
as-elf, g++-elf and ld-elf, they can cause this problem too.
Please replace these too, with their analogue.

-- CUT ME --
#!/bin/perl -w

# This is a replacement for /usr/bin/gcc-elf. gcc-elf used to be:
#	#!/bin/sh
#	exec /usr/i486-linuxelf/bin/gcc -b i486-linuxelf $* -fno-force-mem \
#	-I/usr/i486-linuxelf/include 
# but this caused problems, since shell interpretation of the 
# parameters was done twice. Example (from ppp-2.1.2b-1):
#	cc -c -o options.o -O2 -DDEBUGALL -I.. -D_linux_=1 \
#	-DGIDSET_TYPE=gid_t "-DIMPLEMENTATION=\" (Linux 1.0.1)\"" options.c
#	gcc: (Linux: No such file or directory
#	gcc: 1.0.1)": No such file or directory
#	options.c:0: unterminated string or character constant
#	options.c:0: possible real start of unterminated constant
# When calling the old gcc-elf, the first shell removed the double quotes,
# and the second shell removes the double quotes which were quoted.
#
# Thanks to David Engel for recognising the problem, and to Bart Schuller
# for suggesting this solution.

# Prepend gcc and options to parameters
unshift(@ARGV, ('/usr/i486-linuxelf/bin/gcc', '-b', 'i486-linuxelf'));
# Append options
push(@ARGV, ('-fno-force-mem', '-I/usr/i486-linuxelf/include'));

exec(@ARGV); 	# More than one element in the list, so perl calls 
		# execvp(3), as per perlfunc(1)
-- OUCH! --

Greetings,
Ray
