I am attempting to compile a project on Linux Redhat 8.0 kernel
2.4.18-27.8.0 on x86 hardware.  I get an error that is not very helpful,
and I have not been able to find anything on the web that has been much
help.  It seems that typically the "Bad value" command is accompanied by
some other descriptor to better define the error, in my case, though,
"Bad value" is all I get.  I'm hoping that someone can provide some
indication as to what might be causing the error - even a very general
indication would be helpful at this point.
In the included output you can see that the error occurs in the middle
of the linker searching for libraries.  If I change the order of some of
the arguments on the command line, the error will occur at a different
point in the process of opening libraries.  It makes me think that
perhaps there is some sort of incompatibility with one of the libraries,
but this is pure uneducated speculation as I am very much a newbie to
gcc.  I have taken out all of the unsuccessful searches for each
library, but as the output indicates all libraries were located
successfully.
