Just looked kinda odd because all the other tools are > relatively new and binutils 2.6 is a bit old. Just to ensure that there's no misunderstanding -- it is my understanding that there are many folks out there not using 64 bit MIPS machines who've used 2.7 with no problems. I don't know if that includes users of the Hitachi SH machines or not; hopefully one of those people will speak up. > Bernie Mike -- C. M.
