[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: binutils-20050520-1

[Lev Bishop]

I don't have much clue what I'm doing with binutils, but I've managed
to cause a SEGV in objdump. Here's how:
$ cat > a.c
int main (void)
{
        int i=1;
        i++;
        return i;
}
$ gcc a.c
$ objcopy -O elf32-i386 a.exe
$ objcopy -O pei-i386 a.exe
$ objdump -x a.exe
a.exe:     file format pei-i386
a.exe
architecture: i386, flags 0x00000132:
EXEC_P, HAS_SYMS, HAS_LOCALS, D_PAGED
start address 0x00401000

Characteristics 0x307
        relocations stripped
        executable
        line numbers stripped
        32 bit words
        debugging information removed

There is an import table in .idata at 0x405000

The Import Tables (interpreted .idata section contents)
 vma:            Hint    Time      Forward  DLL       First
                 Table   Stamp     Chain    Name      Thunk

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens with the new binutils and also the previous version. 

(What I was actually hoping to do above was to remove/normalize the
time/date header in pei-i386, so that my executables are repeatable
functions of their sources, so I can checksum/fingerprint them in my
build system. Clearly my above attempts failed, so does anybody know
of a way to acheive this?)
