Re: [linuxsh-dev] binutils in CVS should be OK now

Hi Mitch

I tried the binutils on SourceForge, unfortunatly one of Niibe-san's
patches appears to be missing:

Index: bfd/elflink.c

  	  if (h->root.type == bfd_link_hash_undefined)

  		(info, name, abfd, bfd_und_section_ptr, 0);
  	    }
! 	  
  	  h->elf_link_hash_flags |= ELF_LINK_FORCED_LOCAL;
  	  break;
  	  
--- 237,243 ----
  	      (*info->callbacks->undefined_symbol)
  		(info, name, abfd, bfd_und_section_ptr, 0);
  	    }
! #endif
  	  h->elf_link_hash_flags |= ELF_LINK_FORCED_LOCAL;
  	  break;
  	  

I've no idea what this does, but it appears to be needed for the glibc
build.
