Thanks Linas,
The one thing I know about binutils on Solaris systems is that
most admins don't like to install it. the ld that comes with binutils
does not compile on Solaris 7. Most of the other utils that compose
binutils are available natively. Not sure about other systems, but there
has been talk on the Solaris Intel Mailing list in the past of old admins
advising new admins to not do it. If you can get it as part of another
gnu package, that would probably be less of a hassle.
I know how that sounds, but its the reality of the situation.
