Compilation Problem

Compilation Problem

[Jason Morris]

Hi All,

I've tried to compile and install both released and
snapshot versions of binutils on MinGW and OpenSUSE
10, but I keep getting the following error(s):

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H

Presumably this is because you are missing a "pid_t" type.  Please try
the following patch.

	* elf.c (elfcore_grok_nto_status): Use long instead of pid_t.
	(elfcore_grok_nto_regs, elfcore_grok_nto_note): Likewise.

I think I may as well commit this, even though I haven't heard back from
Jason.
