Uh, the a.out tools are separate (at least they're in seperate dirs: src/gnu/usr.bin/binutils for 2.8.1, and IIRC src/libexec for the older stuff, and 'sides, I think that it was decided not to merge in a.out support into the newer binutils. I for one would really like to see the binutils stuff tracked more aggressively now that we've gotten a bit more up to date (esp if it fixes these odd seg faults I see). - alex | "Contrary to popular belief, penguins are not the salvation of modern | | technology.
