I keep meaning to mention this one, the problem is that 2 xrefs in hash.c &
mmo.c overlap lines. Is this a problem with the MinGW/MinSys tools? It
doesn't seem to show up when building under linux anyway.

The following patch is my workaround, generated from binutils 2.14 but
*should* work with 2.15.90.

On a related note, is there a MinGW/MinSys version of pod2man around
somewhere? I can't seem to find one.
