My oldest crosscompilers are gcc 2.95.3 and ld --version reports 2.11.90.8. And for all I know, these are in fact the oldest versions around, no one want to go back beyond, I guess. Is that enough, Max?Current distribution is GCC-3.2 and binutils-2.13. Yes, the versions you have are old enough to support. They also include all that's needed, IIRC.
That's what I guessed from `ld --help` output. Actually, I can test any patch for being fine for these version, and for what its worth, I vote to to dump support for anything earlier than those. So... if it works, I'm with it.
