I've followed the Hosted GCC Cross-Compiler tutorial on the wiki. I have a working compiler for my operating system, but I have not told it what linker script to use. How do I configure the compiler so that it uses the linker script I wrote for my operating system?

-Wl or -Xlinker gcc options applied to the -T (--script) linker option

I don't understand what you're trying to say. I can use `-T` to set a linker script when I compile, but I want to be able to use the hosted compiler that I ported for my operating system without having to add switches to the command line.

edit: I realize now that might have been unclear in my original post. I can compile software with "m68k-lambda-gcc -T [...]", I would like to be able to run just "m68k-lambda-gcc", but it's trying to use a default linker script that I didn't write.

Maybe you can create a script that invokes the linker with the desired options and reference it in --with-ld at gcc configure time.

I think this step is where you'd set up the default linker script for your toolchain.

oh, I see, so instead of giving it a linker script, I give it configuration options and it generates linker scripts to my needs?

That's correct. It should have options for everything you need, unless you're doing something extremely weird.
