I have and app that I develop in OSX and Win mostly.  It has worked
fine in Linux until the last few days of changes.  I tried to compile
tonight and got this error

Quote/usr/bin/ld: warning: /home/jimkueneman/Desktop/Parallels Shared
Folders/Home/Documents/OpenLCB/trunk/scratchpads/jkueneman/OlcbCommand
er/Compiled_Binaries/i386-linux/link.res contains output sections; did
you forget -T?

I tried deleting the old executable and res file but it still gives
this error.  What does this mean?

You can just ignore this warning - see:

Ok but it does make it not possible to run the app from within the
debugger.  Also it says this bug is fixed in GNU LD.  If I update to
2.23 from here will that fix it?

http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

If so I am not a UNIX expert so what do I do with this package now
that I have it.

Thanks,
Jim

I don't think that it has anything to do with this warning, you
probably have some other problem.
I always get this warning in Linux, but have no problem with debugger.

You are right I thought the following info was related to this error
but it is not.  NONE of my projects will compile in Linux anymore,
even ones I have not changed.....

Mmm....

Somehow "Use external gdb debug symbols file (-Xg)" got checked in a
global way and it won't compile with this option set.
