Well not me anyway. As far as I can see nothing has changed in the configuration of intl library between 2,26 and 2,27. Is the output from the two runs of the configure script (in the intl/ directory) the same ? Especially when it runs the "checking for GNU gettext in libintl" tests ? (It looks like the result of this test decides how LIBINTL is set up). > and how can I cause the build to use the dynamic link to shared libraries? Have you tried adding --enable-shared to the configure command line ? If you are not using the internationalization features you could also add --disable-nls to the configure command line. > Is it a bug that I should report to the Binutils Bugzilla? Well more of a mis-feature than a bug. The programs still work, they are just a little bit bigger than they used to be. So personally I do not think that it is a bug, but if it really matters to you then please feel free to file a bug report. Cheers Nick
