Dave,

Could you provide an update on some of the outstanding binutils issues?

1) dlltool DATA exports incompatible with auto-import
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-11/msg00083.html

This is preventing me from updating GNOME Evolution.

2) weak symbol linkage
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-03/threads.html#00314

This affects libXfont and xorg-server:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11306

Thanks,


Yaakov
