Is this only a binutils issue? I mean shouldn't it work with gcc 2.95.x also?
I think gcc has only control over one object file, however linking them
together should be a binutils specific issue, isn't it? Does it work with
cross targets also?
gcc 3.0 and upward is a little troublesome to use for linux kernels, glibc's
and especially cross-compilers. I'm hesitating to upgrade over gcc 3 for this
purpose, especially a prerelease.
