Binutils on Atari MiNT


Hello guys,

I'm working on porting Binutils 2.16.1 to Atari MiNT, but I've run into
a roadblock.  Apologies if this is the wrong list for this sort of
thing.  Everything is basically done and works for most cases.  We don't
have a working expect (pty issues) so we cannot yet run the testsuite.
The problem we have is that while compiling a certain part of gcc,
binutils consumes around 10MB of ram before it dies out with "Memory
exhausted".  I have 256MB of physical RAM and over 200MB free.  I don't
expect anyone to know the solution, but a pointer as to where to start
looking would be great.  Our almost identical port of binutils 2.13(.12
I believe) doesn't exhibit such issues.

One thing I noticed that could be directly related is that we had to
change all instances of "rawsize" to "size" in prg-mint.c in order to
get it to compile at all, and I'm not 100% sure of the reason this
change works at all.  I'm not well versed enough with the binutils
architecture I guess.  Anyone have any pointers to where devs will need
to change rawsize because binutils changed internally?

Thanks,
Mark Duckworth
