Am I right?
Yes, another issue is that building GNU binutils for go32v2 (djgpp) and win32 (mingw32) is most of the time not working out-of-the-box. So unless we really need to migrate to newer versions we don't spend any time on building them. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
