True, the changes from binutils 2.9.1.0.23 to 2.9.1.0.24 were not all that great, but it would be nice if Red Hat would be consistent. This relates to Red Hat 6.1. [stewart@dystopia pub]$ rpm -q binutils binutils-2.9.1.0.23-6 [stewart@dystopia pub]$ ld -v GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1.0.24) Or if only applying part of a patch, put an entry in the changelog stating the fact. Maybe I'm being too picky here though? Although I was confused for a minute when someone e-mailed me the above. I was not certain what they had installed for a minute. -Rms -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
