Re: binutils request

Could everyone who has submitted a bug fix since the last release
provide a short paragraph describing what the bug fix related to?

I think it just boils down to fixes from Danny, Ralf, and Chuck,
AFAICT from the ChangeLog.

Please send the info to cygwin-apps.

I'll take a stab at descrbing the changes if I don't hear from you
in the next 48 hours or so, but I'd prefer to get the right words
from the people who did the fixing.

Default handling of --enable-auto-import has changed slightly. In the earlier cygwin release of binutils, --enable-auto-import was the default, and ld would issue warnings whenever variables from DLLs were auto-imported. Also, in the past if you explicitly specified "--enable-auto-import", the behavior was the same: auto-import was activated, and warnings were generated.

In this new release, auto-import is still enabled by default. Whenever variables from DLLs are auto-imported, ld issues an info_msg (not a warning). However, if you explicitly specify "--enable-auto-import", then those info_msgs are suppressed.
