Hi Nick,

Is there any estimated date for the next Binutils formal release (version 2.16) ?
We would like to plan our work accordingly.


There is no plan yet.  I would like to branch sometime very soon; does
anyone know of issues that need to be resolved before the next release?

With gcc 4.x coming, we have noticed that the problem Ralf reported here happens on multiple targets. I don't know if it was ever addressed or not.

Eric Norum (cc'ed) recently narrowed it down to this construct:

=============================================================
A little poking around reveals that it's the lines like:

_RamBase = DEFINED(_RamBase) ? _RamBase : 0x0;
_RamSize = DEFINED(_RamSize) ? _RamSize : 0x7f0000;
_HeapSize = DEFINED(_HeapSize) ? _HeapSize : 0;   /* 0x20000;*/
_StackSize = DEFINED(_StackSize) ? _StackSize : 1M; /* 0x2000;*/

that are killing ld.
==============================================================

Does this sound familiar?
