Hi Roberto,
The missing commands are binutils commands, not gcc commands, but I
suppose gcc-mingw32 could provide them (rather than introduction a
binutils compatibility package).
My real question is, does the lack of these commands cause issues? The
idea behind gcc-mingw32 is just to provide compatibility symlinks to
allow autoconf etc. to find the compiler (and related tools) even when
using the old i586-mingw32msvc triplet. I tested a variety of programs
using that triplet with the new gcc-mingw32 package and they built
successfully; the binutils tools actually end up being found with the
i686-w64-mingw32 triplet:
% i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -print-prog-name=ld
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld
Regards,
Stephen
