current cvs version build issues

["J. Grant" <jg-lists at jguk dot org>]

Hello,

I'm having a little trouble getting current cvs to build, I wonder if 
someone could help me find the problems.

Should not this be "g++"? (gcc is used in other tests, not cc)  I 
created a symlink from g++ -> c++ as my GNU distribution did not have 
that, if it is required?


The following code takes several minuites to get past.  I am using a 
1Ghz Althon, I do not remember it taking this long before.  Does this 
take a long time on everyone elses computers?

Finally, the make failed on this code:

I think this needs to link to libopcodes.a which includes dis-init.o


There seems to have been alot of new directories added to binutils, 
newlib, tcl, readline, sid, sim, winsup etc, are these permenant 
additions, or just some temporary development additions?

Is there an IRC channel where binutils developers meet up to chat?

Kind regards
