Try,
gcc -liff (assuming that libiff.a is in usr:lib/ or /usr/lib)
or
gcc -L<full path to the lib> -liff

I had this with an older version of egcs.. I just assigned ADE o the
gg dir and it went away (dont know if this will work in this case tho)

Try changing shells to the ksh, or sh.
Maybe even split the linking into two seperate stages..
(ie, link half the objects then link the remaining half with this
new object..)

GG:bin/ is in your path?
There is also another path the needs to be set, AFAICR it
is something like GG:lib/gcc-lib/m68k-amigaos/egcs-2.91.66/bin (or something
along those lines..)
