I think you're right.

Me neither. The next release of binutils will have weak symbol support, 
but no telling when that will be. It wouldn't be very hard to backport 
weak symbol support to the latest of the binutils 2.9 series, but that 
would have to be a last resort. And it would also have the unfortunate 
side effect of making Paul Derbyshire happy <g>.

Since I'm already sending you a note...
Would you have any objections to renaming the egcs config files for 
DJGPP to eliminate go32 from the filenames? Ex. xm-go32.h -> xm-
djgpp.h, go32.h -> djgpp.h, etc. I've sent off the paperwork to do this, 
but I won't bother if you think it is a bad idea.

I've also resent paperwork for the collect2 patches. But I'm not sure I'll 
ever be able to those in since it only helps DJGPP and Jeff Law has on 
several occasions expressed his bias against DOS.
