If you don't have time to do your dusting, can I be your maid for a day?
;) Current Binutils (.18) no longer compiles and I was thinking of
spending Sunday working on it.  I don't have my notes handy, but they
seem to have re-arranged everything quite a bit.  I'd rather work
towards the best final solution if I'm going to spend the time.

(I have assignment papers on file for binutils, so there's no problem
with me touching large changes)

Tks,
