collect2

Hi GPC'ers!! I was trying to set up a cross compiler on a Linux host to generate Windoze executables. I succeeded using the usual --target=...-mingw32 but when I run i...-mingw32-gpc I get a message about collect2 missing. And in fact, it is missing. Only symlinking ld to collect2 works smoothly. Why does that happen? Thanks in advance. Nick
