The same about binutils-2.10. Perhaps next time I'll use Canadian-cross type build from Linux rather than native build with DJGPP as this time. > > I have always wondered if using the name 'Mingw' is allowed for a toolset > which can produce executables for all the 'Win32*' variations...

I had little more use from it: I was able to use development tools I'm normally using for DJGPP also to build Win32 executables (I'm doing it under Win98SE) > DOS as the development environment isn't very good after all...
