I think that the simplest change we could make would be to have BFD
detect object files with a magic number of 0x188 and then have it issue
an error message along the lines of "please decompress this file before
passing it to BFD". What do you think ?
Nick,
This makes sense, so I've atta
When testing binutils version 2.14 20030612 on target i686-pc-linux-gnu (Linux
Mandrake 8.2) were received messages:

Hi Dan,
The standard ALPHA_MAGIC number is 0x183.
However, the DEC C and C++ compilers can generate compressed binary
files, whose magic number will be 0x188.
Ah ha!
An alternative would be to use the 'objZ -u' command to uncompress the
.o file. Presumably, this could be done automaticall
