This isn't specific to crash; it's the result of a change in the Linux/glibc ABI. Specifically, the new ABI has a .hash.gnu section whereas the old one has .hash. Your linker option above causes both sections to be included, so that the old dynamic loader can load a binary built with a new toolchain. Chip -- Charles M.
