Does that mean, if i have installed Linux on my system with C development set,
binutils comes along with it.

As a stupid user, i dont know from which project linker has come and
gcc has come. What i meant was if i installed C Language (C
Development set) during Linux Installation i dont need to install
binutils seperately.

Regards,
John
