Hi !
I'd like to know if someone is porting gas/ld 2.6 or 2.5.x ?
To have a more recent gas/ld than the ones coming with the
distribution is absolutely necessary for running g++ 2.7.2
andd libg++2.7.1 because g++ needs the .weak symbols in 
some circumstances to produce the 'right' code . If no
weak labels can be used, very strange things can happen to
arrays and classes. g++ 2.6.3 doesn't do the job, because
I need the STL-conformant libg++2.7.1 (I think many others
too !) :-((( . 
If nobody does it, is there any piece of information available,
what's been changed in the sources to adopt gas/ld 1.x.x for
FreeBSD ?

Martin
