Hi Peter,
My actual question, then, is how do I upgrade an RPM-based binutils
package without an upgrade RPM?
One possible way is to download the sources for a more recent version of
binutils (eg 2.15), run configure and then make but, rather than running
"make install" use the checkinstall program instead:
http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/
This will create an rpm from your built binaries and install it for you.
Cheers
Nick
