I do not know why you say `ld' when it is a most a BFD problem. I also dare say that if you were using GDB 5.0 (or a snapshot from the HEAD branch) this would not be a problem. Rev 1.8 of bfd/elf32-i386.c is the version in Binutils 2.10.0, rev 1.9 was committed after the binutils_2.10 release branch was created. The Binutils maintainers do not feel there are any critical bugs in 2.10.0. Thus they have not committed rev 1.9 to the binutils_2.10 release branch. You are free to try to convince them that rev 1.9 should be committed to the binutils_2.10 release branch so that it will show up in Binutils 2.10.1. But that is a battle I do not wish to fight. Thus the lack of the rev 1.8-1.9 change is a GDB/Binutils problem, not a FreeBSD one. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) P.S. I do not read the freebsd-stable mailing list.
