It would be wrong to try to install both of them, as this would lead to conflicts. Currently, the one in binutils gets installed, and the one in gcc2/egcs does not. Eventually, one of the duplicate copies of this program will disppear. I'm the current binutils maintainer, and I can't really think of a reason to keep it in binutils rather than gcc. I will note that it is not entirely gcc specific. It is able to demangle schemes other than the one that gcc uses: specifically, lucid and arm (whatever they are). I don't think this is a strong enough reason to keep it in the binutils. I'll mention this over on the BFD list. to see if there are any other opinions. Ian
