Then we can say that binutils does something that the commercial tools don't. -Sean On 07/24/2012 02:03 PM, James Murray wrote: > On Tue, 2012-07-24 at 13:49 -0700, Sean Keys wrote: >> The bulk of your patch was for XGATE support within the HC1x tools, not >> fixes or additions to the port itself. > Erm?
