Could someone please offer a brief explanation about the nature of the change to the binutils? How are they different such that the kernel build method needed change? My original understanding was that the new method used the tools in /usr/obj instead of in /usr/bin, in order to build kernels with freshly built tools, rather than the tools from the previous build. Late postings imply something more complicated has happened. Is that true? -crl -- Chad R.
