I thought about your approach. But I decided against >it since it didn't work with the cases above. No, but I don't see how we can make those cases work in a reasonable fashion, except to give an error, and hence the user should not expect them to work. If there are linux kernel Makefiles that do this, then I would consider them broken. If you want to argue for your solution, then you should make this argument on the binutils@sources.redhat.com list, as that is where the issue will be decided. Jim
