Folks who read the "gas" mailing lists will know that the bintuils folks have stomped on OLF at least a couple of times. I seriously doubt that any binutils release will support it. That doesn't sound very promising to me _at all_. Given that, looking at OLF would be, quite frankly, a silly idea. Jason R.
