How about rebuilding egcs-1.1 with Novel-related patch and mark it as
a beta version then?
Also there was a problem in the linker from BNU 2.8.1 regarding
exception handling too. AFAIK, it was fixed in BNU 2.9.1
(www.pcg.com/data/djgpp/bnu291.zip) but this archive isn't at DJGPP
distribution sites. Thus, may be fixed version of linker (entire
bnu291.zip) should be placed together with beta version of DJGPP 2.02
and EGCS 1.1?
To Robert Hoehne: could you write something about version of binary
utils BNU291 that located at http://www.pcg.com/data/djgpp/bnu291.zip?
Is it possible to place it in the /v2gnu or v2gnu/beta? I read
readme.djg from it but did not understand: is it port of official BNU
2.9.1 or it is simple correction to BNU2.8.1?
