You can either use your old linker (the 'ld' that came with KGMD), or
install 2.7.2.3 properly ;-)

Pasted from gcc-st.hyp (some text translated to english by me):

   /usr/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-atari-mint/2.7.2.3
         cc1         (bin/cc1.ttp)
         cc1plus     (bin/cc1plus.ttp)
         cpp         (bin/cpp.ttp)
         specs       (lib/specs)

   /usr/m68k-atari-mint/bin
         as          (bin/as.ttp) (link this to /usr/bin as well!)
         ld          (bin/ld.ttp)
         sym-ld      (bin/ld.ttp)

   /usr/bin
         gcc         (bin/gcc.ttp)
         g++         (bin/g++.ttp)
         ar          (bin/ar.ttp)
         ...

   /usr/lib
   /usr/local/lib
   /usr/m68k-atari-mint/lib
   /usr/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-atari-mint/2.7.2.3/lib
         libgnu.a       (lib/gnu.olb)
         libgem.a       (lib/gem.olb)
         crt0.o         (lib/crt0.o)
         ...

      If the environment-variable GNULIB is set, the linker assumes
      it's installed on a TOS-FS and looks for .olb-libraries. If it's
      not set, it looks for .a-libs.

Again, probably caused by the linker assuming it's on a TOS-FS where
chmod doesn't make sense. Try removing the GNULIB-variable.

Ehh... I don't know actually, but it helped having it in the right
place :-)
