------- Additional Comments From aaronw at net dot com 2005-06-03 21:22 ------- I'm not sure that the problem is with binutils. I compiled the conftest.c program with -s and used Sun's assembler /usr/ccs/bin/as to assemble the file. /usr/bin/grep still failed to find the string. Using Gnu grep worked. For some reason Sun's /usr/bin/grep doesn't see the string. I moved to binutils 2.16 and previously used a patched version of 2.15 due to problems I ran into with earlier versions, including 2.14, on Solaris. As for not using binutils 2.15 or later, what is the problem with these versions with the exception of the required patch to 2.15?
