- Subject: Bin utils patches
-
- While we are on the subject, I remember that I once fiddled with a
- couple of ifdef's in ld and ar, relating to filemodes. At least under
- MiNT, I think that ld should leave programs with executable
- permissions. To some filesystems, this actually makes a difference
- (e.g. minixfs), and to some packages (for instance, the configuration
- script of rcs uses compilation to a.out all the time, and this must be
- executable for the subsequent tests to work) this difference is
- important.
-
- I could dig up the patches if anybody is interested, and the always
- busy team of the GCC maintainers haven't fixed it already.
