I actually have his patches integrated into a recent binutils snapshot that I use for another target (i386-uwin). Works quite well. Hopefully all this will someday make its way into the official sources. If you need a copy of the linker with Mikey's patches integrated, let me know and I'll create a binary for you. Beware of the usual `work in progress' problems however. I believe Mikey has a new patched 'ld.exe' as well. Right, Mikey?
