I guess it certainly is, since I'm on Win2K with Interix 3.5, and I've seen some assertions going off a few times in the linker. But, your modifications to binutils made me believe that binutils should be installed, otherwise I would've expected it to be masked, and the system packages set to use native-cctools instead... ? > Maybe you want to have a look at > http://prefix-launcher.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/prefix-launcher/eprefix-bootstrap/trunk/eprefix-bootstrap?view=markup. > There i fixed all those issues you stumbled upon that don't belong in the > tree (where the rest is ;)), and i think it's quite readable (also the > binutils problem is fixed, though a little hackish too :)) I don't see any "fix" there for sys-devel/binutils, so how do I get it to be compiled properly? -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level -- [email protected] mailing list
