We are using binutils-2.9.1 in our tree since 2.9.2 has not been released (gdb-4.18 was based on a snapshot of 2.9.2). The linux folks often just bundle patches with the gdb sources which is not much different from us importing FSF sources into our CVS tree. We can generate diffs from the virgin FSF sources very easily. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
