Greetings! 

Would either of you two wonderful souls have any time in the next few
days to update the bfd macosx support in GCL to the latest binutils
version?  I've incorporated the patches of Satoshi Adachi into cvs
Version_2_6_8pre and added the #include "mach-o-reloc.c" to mach-o.c.
Unfortunately this does not compile -- at the minimum these lines need
commenting out of the new upstream mach-o.c:

/*#define bfd_mach_o_get_reloc_upper_bound _bfd_norelocs_get_reloc_upper_bound*/
/*#define bfd_mach_o_canonicalize_reloc _bfd_norelocs_canonicalize_reloc*/
/*#define bfd_mach_o_bfd_reloc_type_lookup _bfd_norelocs_bfd_reloc_type_lookup*/
/*#define bfd_mach_o_bfd_get_relocated_section_contents 
bfd_generic_get_relocated_section_contents*/


Also, one needs to add back the _ist stuff on which Aurelien's code
depends, or find a way to make the
bfd_mach_o_get_indirect_section_contents routine use the new upstream
mach_o_data_struct:


 typedef struct mach_o_data_struct
 {
   bfd_mach_o_header header;
   bfd_mach_o_load_command *commands;
-  bfd_mach_o_ist *ist;
-  bfd_mach_o_symtab_command *st;
-  bfd_mach_o_dysymtab_command *dyst;
   unsigned long nsymbols;
   asymbol *symbols;
   unsigned long nsects;

I've achieved a local compile which does not work, but you two could
obviously do this much more efficiently than I if you have the time.

(BTW

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.8pre -r Version_2_6_8pre gcl

)

Great!

OK, the first step to grant you cvs write access is for you to
register as a user on the savannah.gnu.org website, and send me your
username. 

Take care,
