Where can I download an upgrade for gas 2.95 alone?  I would assume you
should also update ld, but do you have to upgrade the entire binutils?
The GNU site (& mirrors) only distribute the full-blown binutils packages,
and it is not clear which binutils version contains gas 2.95 (binutils-2.9.1
?).

Also, a suggestion - if such a requirement exists, it would be helpful to
mention it on the etherboot development site (maybe even provide a link to a
site to obtain gas 2.95, or indicate "binutils vX.X.X or greater").  The
only mention I found was buried in the change log, and that was seemed
limited to 'recomended upgrade'.

Thanks Ken,
Keep up the good work.

Robb.
