Nice work, and I can surely try this. Now, I don't see a recent non-2.17 version of binutils anywhere in .deb form for i386. Before I go off an rebuild, could you place your version somewhere where I can fetch it from? Dirk -- Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something. -- Thomas A.
