I prefer : the whole libiberty since there are quite a few files for demangler : in libiberty and I don't know if they will work right without other : changes. How much work is involved and how likely is it that this will break things ? Ideally I would like to see the two versions of the library's sources being identical, but I am worried that this mightbreak too many things. Also I am not sure if the gcc libiberty should be considered the master copy and the binutils one just a shadow of it. or if there are important features in both which need to be merged together. If you have the time and the desire then I would suggest that you do try to merge the whole of the two libiberties. But please be careful! The libraries should be identical. I used to periodically simply import the gcc libiberty into the binutils libiberty. No changes should be checked into the binutils libiberty without being first checked into the gcc libiberty. Ian
