I have an opinion here that you may not agree but; questions like this are indeed about the binutils, and in theory are supposed to go to the binutils list. In practice though, that is a developer list, it's not really a binutils-users list. As a consequence user questions like this disappear into the void. There hasn't been a _way out_ for the past years for me, so very reservedly and rarely I ask questions here, and mostly just not ask and spend time to figure out on my own. Thanks, Bahadir
