updated ld [Re: binutils snapshot -- problems?]


Ok folks, I finally reproduced the problem, but for some reason I had to
build on a native machine. I can't for the life of me figure out why I
can't reproduce the problem using a cross-compiler!

Please try out the updated linker at:

ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/snapshots/binutils-19990911/ld.exe.gz

Please delete new-cygwin1.dll, remake, strip and use. Let me know asap so
I can decide on what to do.

FYI, I ended up reverting the following change:

1999-09-06  Donn Terry  <donn@interix.com>

        * coffcode.h (sec_to_styp_flags): Write separate COFF_WITH_PE
        version.  Move COFF_WITH_PE specific code to new version.
        (stype_to_sec_flags): Likewise.  Add section parameter.
        * coffgen.c (make_a_section_from_file): Set target_index before
        calling styp_to_sec_flags.  Pass section to styp_to_sec_flags.
        * libcoff.h: Rebuild.

I still have to figure out why this changes fixes the problem with
section headers (.data section is getting CODE in addition to the
correct ones) when building a DLL. Until then, it stays reverted.

Regards,
Mumit
