Binutils 2.10 (or 2.10.1) *will* be in FreeBSD 4.1-R. GCC 2.95.2 can produce code that gas 2.9.1 cannot understand. Also people are clammoring for MMX/3Dnow/K6 instruction support. We've already been behind Linux for a year on these because Linux uses development snapshots. Now that there is an actual released Binutils with these features, we should not make our userbase wait another year to get them. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
