As well as itself, win32binutils also recommends win32gcc, but win32gcc
depends on win32binutils.
Although this doesn't seem to confuse dpkg, I'm pretty sure that dselect
is going to have fits, since it treats recommends as strongly as depends.

Thanks for all the discussion guys. I have rebuilt ae without the -N
linker option. It seems to work as well as it ever did, so I will release
it as soon as I can get to master.

You remember wrong.
The usual a.out executable file format consists of three parts:
a 1 kB header, one or more 4 kB code pages, and one more 4 kB
data pages. Thus, the minimum size is 9 k

Here's something I just found in chapter 4.1 of the "policy" manual:
The -N flag should not be used. On a.out systems it may have been
useful for some very small binaries, but for ELF it has no good
effect.
I wish it explained why it shouldn't be used so we could understand it

Hello,
I certainly mistakenly put Apache in non-free when I took over the package.
I'd like to put it back into net, but can you tell me if its license, which
follows, allows that? (I think it can).
Thanks,
Yves.
