Unfortunately the file is owned by sys-libs/binutils-libs-2.27 There is a 2.25 version as well. Now in the binutils itself I have several versions at the same time. But there is no other version of sys-libs/binutils-libs but the 2.27. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
