A couple of comments: Please use something more neutral than "gory debug". How about "--enable-extra-pe-debug"? I don't like having a global in bfd/cofflink.c that's used by bfd/linker.c and ld. Please either encapsulate that logic in the pe-specific files in the linker, or make that variable somehow not a global (i.e. find some structure, say link_info, where we can pass that flag). In the very least, having linker.c depend on cofflink.c will adversely affect every non-coff target. You should have matching --enable and --disable options. The default for auto-import should be disabled, until it has been well tested (I mean *this* version, not a pre-existing version in a different distribution). Especially since you rely on violating the Win32 spec to accomplish this. The ChangeLog formatting is wrong. Among other things, you only need list each file name once for each set of related changes. The code style is wrong (binutils follows the GNU coding standards). The documentation about how auto-import works probably should go in the ld internals doc, not the user's guide. Please post the ldlang.c patch separately; it is not pe-specific. Do not use C++ comments in C code. Do not use the term "bugger" in comments. Please stick to technical names, not derogatory ones. Perhaps that long list of strcmp's should be replaced with a table?
