There is only one minor thing: when you're using a recent egcs snapshot for compiling and checking binutils, you're getting three unnecessary faults in ld due to egcs being more picky than other compilers (including egcs-1.0.2 and gcc-2.8.1): cdtest-foo.h:14: warning: ANSI C++ forbids initialization of const member `len' cdtest-foo.h:14: warning: making `len' static Applying the patch below makes these failures go away. manfred Tue Apr 7 12:25:46 1998 Manfred Hollstein * ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h (class Foo): Declare len to be static to avoid compiler warning. * ld-srec/sr3.cc (class Foo): Likewise. diff -rup -x CVS -x RCS -x *.o -x *.info* -x *.html* -x *.elc -x *.dvi -x *.orig -x *~ -x version.el binutils-2.9.orig/ld/testsuite/ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h binutils-2.9/ld/testsuite/ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h --- binutils-2.9.orig/ld/testsuite/ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h Mon Apr 6 22:33:00 1998 +++ binutils-2.9/ld/testsuite/ld-cdtest/cdtest-foo.h Tue Apr 7 09:35:20 1998 @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ class Foo { static int foos; int i; - const int len = FOO_MSG_LEN; + static const int len = FOO_MSG_LEN; char message[len]; public: static void init_foo (); diff -rup -x CVS -x RCS -x *.o -x *.info* -x *.html* -x *.elc -x *.dvi -x *.orig -x *~ -x version.el binutils-2.9.orig/ld/testsuite/ld-srec/sr3.cc binutils-2.9/ld/testsuite/ld-srec/sr3.cc --- binutils-2.9.orig/ld/testsuite/ld-srec/sr3.cc Mon Apr 6 22:33:05 1998 +++ binutils-2.9/ld/testsuite/ld-srec/sr3.cc Tue Apr 7 09:35:20 1998 @@ -5,7 +5,7 @@ class Foo { static int foos; int i; - const int len = FOO_MSG_LEN; + static const int len = FOO_MSG_LEN; char message[len]; public: static void init_foo ();
