That's the package I have and it was indeed part of Slackware current when I fetched it. I see now, on closer inspection that the changelog also says ; Fri Feb 29 14:00:57 CST 2008 ... d/binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1.tgz: Reverted to binutils-2.17.50.0.17 due to many reports of ld bugs... ... My scripts missed that, but I'll grab that package now and downgrade and try to reproduce the problem. -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
