Hello all,

Slackware-current does not use binutils 2.18.50.0.4.20080208, but rather 
binutils-2.17.50.0.17.  We've run into a few unusual issues with newer 
binutils versions, so we tend to be rather cautious about having that 
package on the bleeding edge.

I'd be curious if using the binutils-2.17.50.0.17 package from 
slackware-current would avoid this problem, but also wanted to let 
people know that the system in question had a critical part of the 
toolchain replaced with something that didn't come from our set of packages.

Best regards,

Pat
