Did you change anything in the sources of Binutils? If so, post here the changes that you did. If not, did you build the original Binutils 2.9.1 as distributed by the GNU project, or some later development snapshot? I will look into the crash dumps and see what can I come up with. In the meantime, please try building the programs with Binutils 2.8.1. > Another thing, is there a newer build of binutils that I can patch to DJGPP. > I think I read somewhere that a newer version of binutils has support for > 3DNow in the 'as' program. These are the development versions of Binutils, not yet released ones. I won't recommend using them, because some of the changes sometimes destabilize the package, and you won't know that until it's too late. You can always use .byte directives for opcodes not yet supported by Gas. I think it's much safer (unless you love messing with Binutils bugs, that is ;-).
