Hello from Gregg C Levine writing for myself
I have a peculiar problem with the Binary Utils set, that the NetBSD
installation process installed, on my system. Apparently to build the newer
software being built by the people at the Free Software Foundation (GNU), I
need a version that correctly handles the 16-bit portions of it. This error
turned up, when trying to build GRUB version 0.5.94 on the system. It stands
for Grand Unified Bootloader. It turns up when running the configure script.
Apparently it does a serious checks to see what was installed, and bases
what it does each time, by those responses. The portions of the script, that
tests the assembler is what throws out the error message. If I download, and
build, and install the next, or newer version of the Binary Utils set, would
I still be able to build a new kernel should I need to do so? Also, as far
as building a new kernel, that went well. The purpose of all of this, is to
replace the standard NetBSD bootloader, with something that makes more sense
to me. Pardon me for the long statement, but this problem was long in the
making, and I needed to give all of you, everything that I have accumulated.
The next step will be to supply the actual error message.
