Hi,

 I have a few questions.

 1)
 I was trying to install binutils2.16 from source and it
didn't make it
because ld had no target. So i tried building
i686-unknown-netbsdelf as
target , at this point binutils compiled fine but gcc failed
saying ld
/export/home/cross/i686-unknown-netbsdelf/bin/ld:
crtbeginS.o: No such file:
No such file or directory

2) So how do i build binutils 2.16 from source and what is
target . Why
isn't openbsd defined in the list. What are source changes
that are to be
made.

3)I wanted to build gcc without propolice gcc-3.4.6. So what
is the target
or build instructions.

4)  Which is the specific group for this, so i that i
exclude other groups
in future messages.

5) Is there any IRC channel for openbsd. i lurked around in
freenode, but
no-one gave me the exact answer of building it from source ,
only use the
ports.

I know that i can use the ports but if i want any new
version of any version
that is not maintained in the ports , i will have to wait
until someone
ports it. So if you can guide me i can try contributing .

6)
 I saw from the CVS that binutils 2.15 , someone had added a
target obsd  .
I tried only adding a similar target in 2.16 but it failed
saying
eelf_i386_obsd.o not found.

Nik
