Which version of binutils?

There seems to be a compatibility problem with the latest version of
binutils.  Do the example Allegro programs compile and run ok?  Did
you check the Allegro home page about this?

Sorry, I can't suggest more than you either downgrade to binutils
2.8.1 or upgrade Allegro to a later version.  

Perhaps someone else can offer some better suggestions?  Here is the
output from an Allegro build with binutils 2.10, lots of similar
errors snipped:

All done.
To use Allegro, #include allegro.h and link with liballeg.a
Example command line: gcc foobar.c -o foobar.exe -lalleg
Run make compress to run DJP or UPX on the executable files
Enjoy!
