It's not a question of me not wanting to do the work, it is simply a matter of "no-one has ever asked for the current GCC 3.4.3 to update its binutils". Therefore, the answer is no, i have not tested GCC 3.4.3 with the newer binutils, because this was never part of the plan. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc. Stefan.Teleman at Sun.COM
