Retro68/binutils
Wolfgang Thaller 2999ed8613 change the way gcc's collect2 works to fix #74
GCC's AIX port, which RetroPPC is based on, uses a different method
from most other platforms to collect the list of all global constructors
and the list of all exception handling tables.
The "standard" method does not work on AIX because IBM's linker will
discard those symbols too early for GCC's liking if they are not
directly referenced.

Unfortunately, the workaround seems to keep too much, so PPC C++
exececutables were at least 1.1MB big.

We don't need to be compatible with IBM's linker. Instead, hack binutils
to keep the symbols that we need kept, and allow GCC to use the
"standard" method for the collect2 pass.

PowerPC application sizes are now down to a reasonable size.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
