Hi,
I just installed the latest snapshot (the 1998-09-29 one), and have a
couple of oldish files left over that weren't updated:
/usr/bin/elfstrip from Aug 19 build
/usr/bin/elf2ecoff from Aug 19 build
/usr/bin/elf2aout from Aug 19 build
/usr/bin/midiplay from Aug 19 build
/usr/libexec/ld.elf_so from Aug 19 build
/usr/libexec/ld.so from Aug 19 build
/usr/sbin/screenblank from Aug 19 build
/usr/bin/genclass installed Sep 14
/usr/bin/objcopy installed May 21
Most of these haven't changed since I did a "make build" in August 19,
so I would guess that they're simply missing from the snapshot? I'm
basing the following assumptions on the October 3 source tarballs, so
things could have changed.
I can see no obvious reason why elfstrip, elf2ecoff, elf2aout, midiplay,
ld* and screenblank should not have been built.
It looks like objcopy isn't built for a.out reasons (look in
gnu/usr.bin/binutils/Makefile). I would guess that we can just add it
with strip if we are on an ELF platform.
I can't find genclass in the source tree at all - it looks like a old
c++ism.
Simon.
