Re: binutils snapshot -- problems?

[Kazuhiro Fujieda <fujieda at jaist dot ac dot jp>]

I tested binutils-19990911-cygb20.tar.gz on Win95 OSR 2.1.

$ gcc --version
2.95.2
$ `gcc -print-prog-name=ld` --version | head -1
GNU ld 2.9-19990911
$ `gcc -print-prog-name=as` --version | head -1
GNU assembler 2.9-19990911

I built the source tree constructed with
cygwin-src-20000105.tar.gz and winsup-src-20000108.tar.gz.
CFLAGS is `-O2'.

Just after the make finished
$ cd i586-cygwin32/winsup/cygwin
$ objdump --version | head -1
GNU objdump 2.9-19990911
$ objdump -h new-cygwin1.dll

new-cygwin1.dll:     file format pei-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn
  0 .text         00071000  61001000  61001000  00000400  2**2

                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, CODE, DATA
  2 .bss          00005be4  6107a000  6107a000  00000000  2**2
                  ALLOC
  3 .edata        00004e00  61080000  61080000  00078600  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
  4 .idata        00001a00  61085000  61085000  0007d400  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
  5 .reloc        00006000  61087000  61087000  0007ee00  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA, DEBUGGING, SHARED
  6 .rsrc         00000600  6108d000  6108d000  00084e00  2**2
                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA, SHARED

This binary can work properly on Win95 OSR 2.1 and NT4 Sp5.

$ strip --version | head -1
GNU strip 2.9-19990911
$ strip new-cygwin1.dll

This binary can work properly only on Win95. It fails with the
error of `not a valid image' on NT4 Sp5.
