I have tried some analysis and got the following result:
old = binutils 20011002
new = binutils 20020425 (cvs HEAD)
funcs
linking dll app
old old - no problems
old new - no problems
new old - undefined reference error
new new - undefined reference error
auto-imported data
linking dll app
old old - no problems
old new - BFD 2.12.90 20020425 internal error,
aborting at section.c line 1073 in
bfd_map_over_sections
new old - undefined reference error
new new - undefined reference error
Any ideas ?
Ralf
