NetBSD and 2.11.2

NetBSD and 2.11.2

[Mike Pelley]

I'm attempting to use binutils 2.11.2 natively for both NetBSD 1.4.3 and
1.5.1.  Binutils compiles ok, but when I try to use it to compile gcc
(2.95.1 or 2.95.3), I get errors as follows:

  gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-L/vol/tools/sw_build/src/lib_i586-pc-netbsd1.4.3
-Wl,-rpath,/vol/tools/sw_build/src/lib_i586-pc-netbsd1.4.3 -I.

... more BFD_ errors.

I also tried the binutils 010827 snapshot with the same result.  One
fellow mentioned a similar problem in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-12/msg00186.html .  Any
thoughts?

Thanks!  Mike.

support for 1.5 is not present in GCC 2.95* or binutils 2.11.2 and
earlier (though is in binutils 2.11.3 and beyond, and GCC -current
from about a month ago.)  the 1.4 machine should work though.  i'll
see if i can test this myself.
