well,   this  means  that  someone with write access to sourceware cvs
should add bfd and intl to module winsup. Chris?

no,  my  patches  to bfd had been checked in some time ago. they're in
main sources since 2000-01-10

hmm.  i think it's  too  platform-dependent  to  be included in binutils. it's
closer to strace, than to ld
