find version of binder and Linker in g++

[Pankaj Bhagat]

Hi,
This is in context with compiler and linker

Can someone let me know
1) what is a binder? where is it needed? What does it do in a
compiling process?
-----------------

2) When I have a g++ on linux, does the g++ or gcc have the linker and
binder inbuilt in it?
How can I know which version of linker and binder I am using?

3) I found a linker in /bin/ld in my Red Hat 8.0 box. Is this linker
being used by the g++ (version 3.2) on my system or does the g++ have
an inbuilt linker?
If linker and binder are inbuilt into g++ how do I know their
versions?

Thanks and regards,
Pankaj Bhagat

The newsgroup you're looking for is gnu.g++.help

Never heard of a "binder". I think you mean "linker". Though,
you should differentiate between the "link editor" and the runtime
dynamic linker.

The binder is GNU ADA (GNAT), not C. It satisfies some Ada requirements for
guaranteeing "sane" builds.
