I was referring to the problem described by the orignal reporter, i.e., which gcc-3.3 doesn't matter, but post-sarge binutils doesn't work: >Error also goes away if binutils is upgraded from sarge version to version >currently in unstable. But this upgrade in turn causes problems with >usage of g++ 3.3, described at >http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16625.

Unfortunately, we do have to use >g++-3.3 ABI here, and I'm sure we are not alone with that. I guess this is really a bug in binutils, but it still means this package is apparently incompatible with g++-3.3 for now, due to a few mysterious name changes in libc_nonshared.a. That leaves no suitable package in etch, hence my two questions above. Thanks, Michael P.S. Should a copy of this bug be sent to the binutils package? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
