Hi Guys,

Is there any news on when the version of binutils that ships as part of 
the base system will be updated? The version that ships with 7.x etc is 
about 5 years old now.

It creates problems on amd64 when compiling mplayer (assembly language 
directive errors), and can be resolved by installing a newer version of 
binutils.

Feel free to share your thoughts :)

Alex.
