Error Messages
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. This indicates some problem with the procedure for building the NSK
operating system, which is beyond the scope of this manual.
Cause. The zimpimp file is a file that tells eld about the symbols in system library.
eld has various methods of locating this file. For example, if you are running eld on
TNS/E then the operating system tells eld where the file is. In other cases, eld looks
for it in an appropriate place, expecting it to have the name “zimpimp”. eld did find a
file by these methods, but the file turned out not to have the proper structure for a
zimpimp file. This particular message comes out when the file did have the structure of
a DLL, but did not have the proper “DLL name” within it, to indicate that it was the
zimpimp file.
Effect. Fatal error (eld immediately stops without creating an output file).
Recovery. There is something wrong with your installation. The message told the
name of the file that eld thought should be the zimpimp file, but wasn’t. Perhaps that
will help you figure out what is wrong. A proper zimpimp file should be built as part of
the process of creating the operating system, which is beyond the scope of this
manual.

what the zimpimp file looks like, but rather was a linkfile, such as an object file created
by a compilation.
