Hi Peter,

tonite I tried to compile the new version of binutils (2.16.1)
on various SUN-Workstations without success.

(1) First of all, there saemas to be a bug, if you use
    "./configure --prefix /usr/gnu"
I got errors when typeing "make" in the sub directories
    "bfd" and "libiberty".

Presumably you mean the messages about "libintl.h" not being found ? If so then you can add the "--disable-nls" switch to the configure command line and this should resolve the problem. I think that the actual bug is due to some strangeness with the installation of the intl package under Solaris (but I could be mistaken about this).

(2) Question: Why is'nt there an uninstall feature, to get rid
    of previous releases?

Because a simple recursive delete command will remove a release. Alternatively if you obtained the old binutils release via an RPM or some other kind of package managing tool you can always use the uninstall feature of that tool.

Cheers
  Nick
