Re: Binutils-2.10

Thanks for the help.  I was able to build binutils-2.10 after
generating the headers as you described.

The reason I expect the patch to change generated files is
because the normal make does not generate them and the files
are included in the binutils-2.10.tar.bz2 file.  They are also
in CVS.  Why are generated files in CVS or the binary distribution
if you have to generate them?

I thought all I would have to do is a ./configure; make; make install
after I applied the patches.  Maybe you could add the need to generate
files on your binutils-2.10 web page.
