Upgrade: Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) to Feisty (7.04)

I broke my rule of using the Ubuntu version one step backward from the current development release. My main interest is the stable ntfs driver with write capability. The upgrade went smooth except for a minor issue related to shared-mime-info package and a custom package (freemind). I reported the fix here.

ld: unrecognized option '--hash-style=both'

gcc -Wl,-Map=contiki.map,-export-dynamic testv6.co obj_linux-native/socketdev_listener.o \ contiki-linux-native.a -o testv6.linux-native /usr/local/bin/ld: unrecognized option '--hash-style=both' /usr/local/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information collect2: ld returned 1 exit status If you look closely, the error is something related to the local gcc not using the host's linker (ld). $ which gcc /usr/bin/gcc $ which ld /usr/local/bin/ld For some reason, I messed my compiler path. To synchronized gcc to use the host's dynamic linker (i.e. /usr/bin/ld ), set the environment variable COMPILER_PATH to /usr/bin . $ export COMPILER_PATH=/usr/bin $ echo $COMPILER_PATH /usr/bin $ gcc -print-prog-name=ld /usr/bin/ld
