Binutils 2.16.1

2005-07-06 Thread David Fix
Just wondering... I'm going through the SVN-20050705 book, and I notice that it's still got binutils 2.16 in it... There's 2.16.1 out, and I've successfully compiled it instead of 2.16 (I'm at chapter 6.14 now)... Any reasons that we shouldn't be using 2.16.1? :) Dave -- http://linux
