1 Hi gang.

3 This is probably mostly for drobbins, since he packaged binutils.

5 Why does the ebuild not have --enable-shared by default (we could turn it
6 off if USE static is in effect) ? Some programs, such as jrockit (a
7 commercial JVM) depends on libbfd.so which is not compiled without
8 --enabled-shared.

10 If there is no particular reason for this, I'll add it and append -r1 to
11 the very latest binutils (.27), unless you drobbins want to.

14 Kind regards,
