Since gdb shares the same top-level tree as binutils, you may overwrite your libbfd.a and libiberty.a. But maybe it doesn't do that anymore. Not that it's a big deal anyway since they're already statically linked into the binutils binaries. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
