There's been some talk on the list of getting it to work with the shareware version, but no action yet as people are still beating on other issues. I'm banging my head against the quirks & foibles of our ancient version of gas. I'm busting for an updated version of binutils - roll on the ELF stuff which make all this a bunch easier to keep up to date. Do any of the other *BSDs still use a.out?
-current has the latest binutils allready, it should have been enabled
for ELF long ago, but me being buzy has prevented that...
I hope to get this done soon...
