AFAICT, that changes the binutils configuraiton for the entire system. That's not what I want to do. I want to use specific binutils versions for specific make invocations. [Similar to the way can for gcc with "make GCC=/usr/bin/gcc-whatever".] Is there an option I missed that just changes the configuration only for the current shell session? -- Grant
