An updated DJGPP port of Binutils 2.10 is now available from SimTel mirrors:

Binaries and Documentation (info and man formats):

BFD library:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bnu210a.zip

The update addresses the following problems fixed since the previous update:

* Fixed bogus warnings 'symbol has no section' and 'symbol type changed from x to y'.

You can update your sources from the previous update with this patch:
