Agreed. The easy solution is to choose one of these two targets as the default, in this case it's preferable to choose elf32-i386. So add --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu to your configure line. I'm assuming here that you're on an x86_64 linux box. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
