I need some wisdom on how to proceed. Since version 2 of Etherboot they
are using the new data32 features of the Linux binutils. I know it works in
binutils-2.9.1.0.25 which you can get from kernel.org or a mirror such as:
http://kernel.stuph.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc
I built it on -current after figuring the right host to pass to configure
(it doesn't pick it up right without help). I installed the result as-new
into /usr/local/bin and then modified the Etherboot Makefile to use it.
Now I guess I have 2 questions:
1) When might this feature come into FreeBSD? Do we wait until this
comes into the GNU release of binutils?
2) Do I make this a port so we can upgrade to the latest Etherboot
release?
Since they do a fair amount of active work I would like to track their
latest stuff which currently we can't because our gas doesn't support
"data32".
Thanks,
Doug A.
