The situation as far as I am concerned hasn't changed for about 5
months.  The patches I made to gas (including syntax changes) have, I
was told, been incorporated into gas 1.37 but I haven't checked.
I have also recently fixed the only known outstanding bug in gcc
port where it sometimes generates displacements which are too big.
(That hasn't been incorporated into the patches on augean though,
but it could easilly be if there is demand).

I have also got a utility for extracting the bits from a gld generated
executable and down loading it. I don't have minix (I don't have time
to play with it at the moment and I am kind of hoping that there will
be a unix (or maybe mach) by the time I submit my thesis). Anyway the
point is, minix or gld would no doubt need changes so that the
executables are in a compatable format.
