I'm a little confused here, on the 25th you applied the patch which Bruce Bauman had stole from the binutils CVS tree, thus fixing the bug. Now on the 26th you're writing a message that indicates you are unwilling to have any modification from binutils 2.10, even if it fixes a bug. Can I rely on the previously applied patch to stay in -STABLE, or alternately for binutils or gdb to be updated appropriately such that debugging works cleanly, without additional source tree patches? --Kevin ----------------------------------------------------------------------- kevin way 215 354 5287 software engineer kway@wgate.com worldgate communications To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
