I need some wisdom on how to proceed. Since version 2 of Etherboot they are using the new data32 features of the Linux binutils. I know it works in binutils-2.9.1.0.25 which you can get from kernel.org or a mirror such as: http://kernel.stuph.org/pub/linux/devel/gcc I built it on -current after figuring the right host to pass to configure (it doesn't pick it up right without help). I installed the result as-new into /usr/local/bin and then modified the Etherboot Makefile to use it. Now I guess I have 2 questions: 1) When might this feature come into FreeBSD? Do we wait until this comes into the GNU release of binutils? 2) Do I make this a port so we can upgrade to the latest Etherboot release? Since they do a fair amount of active work I would like to track their latest stuff which currently we can't because our gas doesn't support "data32". Thanks, Doug A.
