The web page indicates that the latest release is 2.14, but the latest is really 2.17.
When gcc 4.x is built with the linker in binutils 2.14 and emacs is built from the result, emacs crashes with a segv, which is corrected by using the '-z nocombreloc' switch. When the linker from 2.17 is used, the problem no longer occurs. Please correct the web page to point to the more recent version in order to prevent others from running into this same problem. This problem occurred on a fully patched solaris 9 x86 machine, so 'keeping my distribution of linux up to date' is not an option. Also, as of gcc 4.0, it appears that the gnu linker must be used, so this may also be a problem with sparc builds.
