I actually just uploaded a patch to DJ that fixes the gcc 2.95 problems
(I was getting very bored with the flood of "can't compile it" posts :-)
But I didn't know about this binutils issue: is that another one that
causes compile errors, and if so, where can I get a copy of these binutils
to check it out?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that these problems have already been fixed in 
the development version of Allegro (we had a bunch of problems with 
Mingw32 needing to use "call *%reg" instead of just "call %reg", and
with a few wrong size suffixes), but we are still quite a way short of
calling that code an official release, so if this is going to become
a problem in the near future, I should make another patch to the existing
version.
