Re: [Gcl-devel] bfd problem on gentoo?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  And thanks for your interest in gcl.  There is no
'htab_create_alloc' symbol in my libbfd (nor libiberty.a).  This must
have been added in a recent binutils version.  It looks like a problem
in building your binutils, unless there is a new auxiliary library
required or something.  If you wish, you can take a cvs snapshot and
configure to build a bfd lib from the local tree.  This should not be
necessary and is decidedly less modular, but if you want something
fast, that's my recommendation.

Take care,
