This is a port of GNU binutils 2.26 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   The GNU binutils are utilities of use when dealing with binary files, either
   object files or executables.  These tools consist of the linker (ld), the
   assembler (gas), and the profiler (gprof).  There is also a collection of
   other binary tools, including the disassembler (objdump).  These tools make
   use of a pair of libraries (bfd and opcodes) and a common set of header files.



   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================
   - This is a DJGPP specific bug fix release.
     Due to changes done to allow again to build on linux a binutils version
     as part of a cross-building tool chain, but that has been patched with
     the usual DJGPP specific patches, the support to resolve the occurence
     of multiple DXE3 symbols has been disabled and partialy removed.  This
     has been fixed with this revision.  No other changes have been done.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3 and on Win98SE.
     There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.
     Due to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
     and compile without LFN support.  The port has been compiled using gcc530
     and bnu226br2.

   - The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
     It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case on
     FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.



   As usual, all djgpp specific files (build.sh, diffs, README files, etc.)
   are stored in the /djgpp directory.  The sources have not been configured
   so you must change into the /djgpp directory and start build.sh.  This will
   configure the sources and start make.

   For further information about Binutils please read the info docs and NEWS file.




   The port consists of the usual four packages that have been compiled
   using djdev205 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and
   mirrors as (time stamp 2016-03-04):
