OK, then what about the following example: on an i386-linux system I have three shared binaries of libbfd, one is for i386-linux host and i386-linux target, another one is for i386-linux host and mipsel-linux target and the last one is for mipsel-linux host and mipsel-linux target. Which one should go where? Anyway see 'http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-05/msg00184.html' and its follow ups for the origin of the choice -- as you took part in the discussion, I'm actually surprised you are not aware of the current setup. -- + Maciej W.
