The old 5.4 patch fixed the problem I had then which was linking with a library, this one is that it won't *create* the library. "No rule to make target '/path/to/sourcefile.o', needed by '/path/to/lib.a' Stop With 5.10 you get the above problem with 5.4 without the patch you can still create it, just can't link with it, with the patch it works perfectly. So it's new in 5.10. Thanks!!
