Hi, I'm running an ELF world for three days now and I really want my old binutils back! Not only is the source code readable while the new ones are huge and ugly, it also needs so much Makefile twiddling (e.g. ld switches -T and -O, the latter of which I have found no replacement for). Not to speak of manpages that occasionally use ten pages where FreeBSD was content with two. So my question is: does anyone plan to migrate FreeBSD's binutils to ELF or was part the motivation to switch to ELF the ability to use the original GNU binutils? cu Jo --------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve <http://www.freebsd.org>; Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Replicants are like any other machine -- Germany they're either a benefit or a hazard.
