Hi DJ,

It fails on scanning the .gnu.hash section.  Is this going to be fixed
at some point, or are we going to have to live with the
incompatibility?

You are talking about the 2.17 branch sources right ? In which case I guess it will only be fixed if someone cares to backport enough of the .gnu.hash changes to make reading and writing such files possible.

Doing this would certainly be nice, but it will also be important to update the minor version number so that 2.17 sources/binaries that can read FC6 binaries can be distinguished from older 2.17 sources/binaries.

Cheers
  Nick
