Not yet, wanted to check if it works with binutils-2.17.50.* first. In this version of the patch i removed one unneeded part of it and now it applies on both 2.17.50.* and 2.17 (but 2.17.50 still doesn't work, probably something with gcc or the thing that will become a part of sys-dragonfly/dragonfly-lib). Think I'll post this version upstream though.

[e-mail]? I thought that [e-mail] was more  
appropriate... whoops ;)

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2007-08-29 16:12:09 UTC]

this has been merged upstream and should be in binutils-2.18 which is in portage now

thanks Robert !

[Comment 7 Robert Sebastian Gerus 2007-08-30 08:32:43 UTC]

Could I ask for including the patch in 2.17 patchset? The binutils 2.18 still doesn't work on dragonfly.

added patch to 2.17-r2
