Any chance to make this consistent with Linux? The version string is straight from a standard binutils distribution. Nothing has been done to modify it. It comes from this line in the bfd Makefile: ./bfd/Makefile: bfd_version_string="\"$(VERSION).$${bfd_version_date}\"" ;\ So, no. I'd suggest modifying python. It pretty clearly doesn't adapt correctly to a standard binutils version string. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
