Since libbfd & friends are no longer default-installed by the src/ build machinery when building binutils or gcc, I wonder if it would be a good idea to "spin off" libbfd as a separate "package" -- with no ties to (and not used by) binutils/gcc themselves. (Obv, binutils/gcc would continue as they do at present, building an internal version with just what they need). That way, bfd-for-public-use could be configured with all bells and whistles (e.g. elf support, etc). -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
