Problems compiling the latest snapshot

Problems compiling the latest snapshot

[Koundinya.K]

Hi all !!,
	As the subject says I am getting the following errors when I am trying to 
compile the binutils-990710 snapshot.

Here is the  log:

Are anyone facing the same problem ??

These problems are almost certainly due to my recent changes, since
they occur at lines I have touched.  However, I don't understand *why*
they occur, and they do not occur on my machine.  It's possible that I
missed a checkin of a generate file, but a) I can't see which one and
b) I wouldn't expect the symptoms you're seeing.  Perhaps you could
preprocess the source file and send it to me?

There are some minor problems with the latest binutils. I am making
a patch now.

These are portability issues.

   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 2112: warning: semantics of "<" change in ANSI C; use explicit cast

You are comparing a signed value with an unsigned value.

   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 3082: operands have incompatible types: op ":"
   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 3083: operands have incompatible types: op ":"
   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 4787: operands have incompatible types: op ":"
   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 4788: operands have incompatible types: op ":"

These are telling you that a use of ?: has incompatible types.  In
this case it is because the type of bfd_put_8 is not void, unlike the
types of the other cases of the bfd_put conditional.

   "../../binutils-990710/bfd/elflink.h", line 6362: warning: argument is incompatible with prototype: arg #1

bfd_elf_hash takes a pointer to unsigned char (this seems strange to
me, but maybe most callers to call it that way).  This line is passing
it a pointer to char.

I will repair this.

May we change bfd_put_8 to be consistent with the others?

This is unrelated to my changes; it is presumably the result of:

	* elflink.h (elf_collect_hash_codes): New function.  This function is
	called for each exported symbol and we compute the ELF hash value for
	it.
