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. Dan Aizenstros Software Engineer V3 Semiconductor Corp. "Maciej W.
