My current version of binutils is the one that came with the distro, namely binutils-2.9.5.0.22-6. I was wondering, in light of my upgrading GCC, if I should also upgrade binutils to 2.12? And, if so, should I install the new binutils before or after installing gcc-3.1? Are there any issues related to whether binutils needs to be compiled with the compiler currently being used and vice versa. The reason I ask this is that I note that in the upgrade instructions for glibc-2.2 it says that one should first make and install the new compiler, then use the new compiler to make and install the new glibc, and then go back and remake and install the compiler with the new glibc. Thanks. Regards, Jeff Stephens
