Subject: bfd patch to flip OpenServer defaults
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 1998 23:05:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19980127010448.34173@dgii.com> (raw)
I was the one that made this decision two-ish years ago. It was
the thing to do at the time. Now I'd like to change it.
OpenServer is a mixed COFF and ELF target. [ If I knew what a pain
two years ago this was going to be, I would have never thought about
supporting it... ] At the time, it looked like COFF was going to stay
strong. Now, the newer versions of SCO's own tools don't generate COFF
and COFF is quickly becoming the second-class citizen. This patch
reverses the BFD defaults and will improve our ability to place nicely
with GCC 2.8.0 which emits ELF by default.

* config.bfd (i[3456]86-sco3.2v5*) ELF now the default.
(i[3456]860sco3.2v5*coff) an optional build mode.
