   I'm building a development system on a RedHat 5.2 box, which comes with 
   egcs-1.0.3 on it.  The make check fails on:

   Running /gnu/src/binutils/ld/testsuite/ld-selective/selective.exp ...
   gcc -w -O2 -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections

   -fdata-sections wasn't added until September last year, I don't know tcl 
   at all, but is it possible to exclude that test on gcc systems that 
   wouldn't have that in it yet?

Yeah, that's probably the thing to do.  I haven't bothered with it; it
needs to get fixed before the next release, but who knows when that
will be.  Does anybody have a patch for it?
