I nursed objdump until I found readelf -a :)

Given that even kernel guys fight it I doubt we will ever get away
from issues, but we should be able to cut down on frequency of
the problems.

My favorite issue goes something like:

egcs-2.91.66  code is small
gcc-2.95.2    code is bigger
gcc-2.96      code is even bigger

As the toolchain issues become our main concern though we will probably
have the time to develop good bug reports and actually get the bugs fixed.

Eric
