Hello everyone,
After spending a day trying to compile TinyOS for the MSP430, I found
the attached patch to binutils, deep down in the CVS tree of TinyOS
(it's in tinyos-1.x/contrib/eyes/tools/patches/binutils). It enables
the use of '$' in identifiers, a feature heavily used by ncc (the nesC
pre-compiler).
The patch is for binutils-2.14, but it applies cleanly to 2.15 as well.
Any chance that this gets included into binutils? And if not, at least
this mail generates a reference to the solution so that other people
find it more easily (Google was *not* my friend, this time :-(
