[Fwd: Re: segfault in ksymoops]

[Jerome de Vivie]

I use this version:  "GNU ld version 2.13.90.0.20 20030319"

It seems that the function "bfd_get_target" has a problem.

I've search "bfd_get_target" inside "Changelog" in CVS but with no
success.

regards,

j.

oops.c::67, the call to bfd_get_target()
        bt = bfd_get_target(ibfd);      /* Bah, undocumented bfd
function */
is returning garbage.  Ask the binutils people why this is so.
