I'm not sure, I cannot currently find this in my notes. However, there was
a GCC 4.0.2 build report on IRIX 6.5 with binutils 2.16 yesterday where Ada
testresults were as terrible with GNU ld as I recall they were for me:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-10/msg00258.html
I don't have any tree with Ada and GNU ld on IRIX anymore, so I cannot
easily check what the errors were. Maybe Rainer Emrich who reported those
results can help with the details from gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/acats.log?
