The latter I think, but it is obviously not (very) tested with compilers that are not compatible with the GNU compiler. > If the purpose is to work with general binaries, it seems that > 'dropping' the section group stuff is clearly a bug. Oh, sure. > I had no problems with C, but moving to C++ has been a pain. The GNU C compiler and the SunPro C compiler are supposed to be 100% binary compatible (at least we strive for that on the GNU side), so GNU Binutils is very likely compatible with the SunPro C compiler as a by-product. That's not the case for the C++ compilers. -- Eric Botcazou _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
