When release 0.0 came out, I gathered together the patches for gcc-2.0 and gnu-ld-1.94-beta. The patches are (still) available from tesla.ee.cornell.edu in pub/386bsd. However, gnu-ld 2.0 was just released, and if patches are still necessary, they should be diffs from this version of ld. I'm not going to get to this until after I have SL/IP running, which will probably not be until next week (still waiting for the mailman to bring the modem). If someone else has the time to experiment with gnu-ld 2.0 and see if it works, please let me know.
