Dear Alfred Perlstein,
<caution type="I haven't (as yet) tried this">
>From the posts I have been reading, I seem to understand that the
following may apply (depending on the divergence/relationship between
-CURRENT and -STABLE):
-- It may be necessary to downgrade the toolchain (e.g. binutils;
gcc);
-- It may be necessary to downgrade "script"utils (ie perl).
</caution>
Best regards,
Salvo
