I hope the fix does NOT require that Automake be run before Binutils could be built with DJGPP tools. I hope the solution is to add some magic to Makefile.in generated by Automake so that the rules would work with both y.tab.c and y_tab.c. If those assumptions aren't true, let's try to find another solution. Users are already unhappy with having to install Bash and all the auxiliary tools to build packages from sources. Automake adds Perl to this mess, which is IMHO a bit too far. > As for including PE as a target, I would want to know how much > bigger the binutils binaries would be before I can offer a comment. I think this should be easy to test on Linux, by configuring Binutils with and without PE. Can someone please do that?
