Hi gang.

This is probably mostly for drobbins, since he packaged binutils. 

Why does the ebuild not have --enable-shared by default (we could turn it
off if USE static is in effect) ? Some programs, such as jrockit (a
commercial JVM) depends on libbfd.so which is not compiled without
--enabled-shared.

If there is no particular reason for this, I'll add it and append -r1 to
the very latest binutils (.27), unless you drobbins want to.


Kind regards,

Karl T
