   It is not clear to me whether it's safe to stick with binutils 2.9.1 on any
   platform.  HJ, were all those bugs you fixed purely C++ or were there
   problems affecting more people?

I'm using stock binutils 2.9.1 (together with gcc 2.8.1) without
problems for quite a while now.

But I don't use egcs and I do not code a lot of C++.
