Problems with binutils?

[Angelo Graziosi]

It seems that the attached test case does not work rightly with current 
binutils.

The Help menu contains two About items and About2 is created from About1 
with Copy/Paste. Now, while clicking on About1 works as expected, the 
click on About2 does not produce anything and fails. If I comment out 
the FILE_EXIT stuff (from .c, .h and .rc files) the issue is for About1 
and not for About2 (it "swapped"!).

If, as binutils, I use the old binutils-2.23.52-5.tar.bz2 package, all 
works as expected.

I can reproduce the issue also with the current mingw-w64 binutils (and 
the relative mingw-w64 compilers, i686-w64-mingw32, x86_64-w64-mingw32).

The issue does not exist using mingw binutils (i686-pc-mingw32).


The attached tar-ball can be used in this way:

$ tar -xvf test_case_b.tar.bz2
$ cd test_case_b
$ ./dlg_one.out

To create the test case I have adapted an application found on the web.

Consider that I discovered the issue with a more complicated Fortran 
application.

Ciao,
Angelo.
