  Hello,

 What did I miss:

  I try to build an application with previous and the present version
  of binutil and see youself:

   C:\DJ\BIN>ld -v
   ld version 2.5.2 (with BFD 2.5)

   C:\CERN\SRC\95A\CFS\KERN>gcc micky.o libkern.a -lf2c -lm
   libkern.a: could not read symbols: Memory exhausted

and no problem with 2.4 (I've just replaced the LD.EXE ONLY!)

   C:\CERN\SRC\95A\CFS\KERN>ld -v
   ld version 2.4 (with BFD 2.4)

  C:\CERN\SRC\95A\CFS\KERN>gcc micky.o libkern.a -lf2c -lm

  C:\CERN\SRC\95A\CFS\KERN>dir a.out

   Volume in drive C is DECPC
   Volume Serial Number is 443F-15EE
   Directory of C:\CERN\SRC\95a\Cfs\KERN

   A        OUT       232,817  04-23-95  3:16p A.OUT
            1 file(s)        232,817 bytes


   Any ideas ?

      Thank you in advance
