I can if you are sure you want it. It will of course break any assembly source you have that happens to use / to start comments anywhere except the first column. > Do you know of other issues (in the whole binutils package) where the GNU > system differs from the GNU/Linux system? You can find differences by comparing entries in the various configure files, particularly gas/configure.tgt and ld/configure.tgt. The most obvious difference is that more linux targets are supported, and linux targets often enable support for related targets like the older AOUT linux target. > Having a look at the source code I found [gas]/config/te-linux.h, but no > [gas]/config/te-gnu.h or similar. > E.g. in the Linux file, `LOCAL_LABELS_FB' is defined to `1'.

It won't make a difference on most targets. eg. tc-i386.h defines LOCAL_LABELS_FB too. -- Alan Modra IBM OzLabs - Linux Technology Centre _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
