Re: Binutils 2.11 and BSDI 4.2 - **BUG**

[Aaron Schlesinger <mortehl at yahoo dot com>]

Final Resolution of Binutils and 2.11 bug:

There is a configure bug in the bfd directory. BSDI
can't support core files (Thanks to Nick Clifton on
helping me figure this out).

To fix, remove the i[3456]86-*-bsdi* from configures
core selection section and add

i[3456]86-*-bsdi*)
COREFILE=''
;;

This will make it select no core support.

Thanks for the help!

Aaron
