Pedro, I forgot to ask you if you have time, would it be possible to incorporate into cegcc a recent version of binutils >= 2.18.50. I was looking into mingw mailing list and I found this :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "FWIW recent 2.18.50 snapshots have changed the handling of section alignment. Now, alignmemt is encoded in section header of object file, the same as done by MS tools. This may cause some backward compatibility issues with older libs that need 16 byte alignment for SSE2 objects. Please report any such problems to binutils list." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beware if you choose a 2.19 version I read this : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Chris Sutcliffe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: binutils-2.19 Newsgroups: gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.devel Date: 2008-12-02 02:14:53 GMT (3 days, 14 hours and 36 minutes ago) > So, it clearly works fine, when built natively.

Given that the native build works, are we good, or do we need to hold-off while the cross-compiler is sorted out? Chris ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My goal is to generate the most similar code between cegcc and Visual because it will help us to track the problem down. So if we could merge .edata and .idata into .rdata and remove the align characteristics from section it would be a great step.
