Hi Bernhard,
the archives http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.18.tar.bz2
and ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/releases/binutils-2.18.tar.bz2
are different.
Is this expected?
No. :-(
I would consider the ftp.gnu.org version to be more correct, since it
contains files that cannot be found or generated using the
sourceware.org version, whereas the reverse does not apply.
Fortunately 2.18 is an old release, so I doubt if this discrepancy is
very important now.
Cheers
Nick
