Hi, I have made binutils 2.23.2 RPM packages available at: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/SRPMS/ ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/RPMS/vax/ ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/macro/RPMS/i386/ -- included there are source packages, native binary packages as well as an i386 cross-binutils binary package. In addition to the version update they include fixes to ELF symbol export class handling that results in better code produced in the case where symbols can be accessed directly rather than through the GOT in PIC code. Enjoy! Maciej
