Re: [Clibinutils-devel] Support for MDB debug info to ld

[Andrea C. O. <and...@gm...>]

Hi,

I ci the changes in my dev branch
(https://clibinutils.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/clibinutils/mono-based-binutils/branches/aco-dev),
it seems to be working fine.

If I do the ci on trunk all the people that builds the binutils have
to co two extra dirs from Mono.
It will break all current checkouts.

Let me know when you want me to ci on trunk.

Andrea
