binutils prerelease available for testing (feedback needed)

Hi
You may be ahead of me on this but...
I have experienced similar problems as report by Eric Fifer and Charles
Wilson using binutils-000718, with access violations linking against C
dlls with data exports or with C++ dlls.
But, rebuilding binutils-000718 after reverting the changes made to
gas/config/obj_coff.c
( http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-07/msg00226.html ) back to
binutils-000717 version, I can successfully build and link against dlls,
using either dllwrap or gcc -shared. This works also with -mno-cygwin.
I have tested linking against implib as well as directly aginst dll
without implib. Both work, for C and C++, and dll data is exported
correctly. Also with standalone MingW.
Hope this helps.
Regards
