Hi, Some new goodies; a patch for EGCS and a patch for binutils. The former is an all-in-one patch against the 1.1.1 release and replaces the various bitty patches that have been floating around thus far. It includes everything from the old patches plus a fix for an obscure bug that surfaces while compiling complex functions with -fPIC and improved support for -mapcs-float. I also turned on support for the new sys_cacheflush syscall by default. This may mean you get alarming-looking kernel messages if you use nested functions on a machine running an old kernel -- since the old behaviour was to fail silently this doesn't seem too much of a problem. The latter is a small patch against HJ's 2.9.1.0.19a release (though in fact it should apply against any reasonably recent version) to fix a couple of strange but serious bugs to do with section handling. I say "strange" because I'd never noticed them until a few days ago and yet the effect is to completely break things like the .text.init support in the kernel. I guess they must have been triggered by another change at some point. If you still have outstanding problems with either egcs or binutils that you think I might not know about (or have forgotten) then please send me mail. ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/egcs-1.1.1-arm-diff-981227.gz ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/p/philb/binutils-2.9.1.0.19a-arm-diff-981227.gz Share and enjoy p. unsubscribe: body of `unsubscribe linux-arm' to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
