I'm afraid I don't know when 2.22 will be out. binutils is interesting as the snapshots are very stable - stable enough that Ubuntu 11.10, Debian unstable, and Fedora 16 all use the 2.21.53 snapshot. > The reason I do not really like snapshots is that I would like crosstool-NG > to be as production-ready as possible.

I'll keep it as a local patch and update when 2.22 comes out. -- Michael -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
