Hello

I successfully built gdc-0.12 with the additional patch to enable -fpic 
-shared, and that works fine. Excellent - I have my toolkit as a dynamic 
library callable from C and from D.

But when I try to build gdc-0.13 so as to stay current I get assembler 
errors:

libphobos/std/stream.d:
Error: Local symbol `.LTHUNK0' can't be equated to undefined symbol ...
(many more of these)

I notice that some relevant sounding changes were being discussed in 
relation to the mingw port.

Any suggestions?

If you built 0.13 on top of 0.12, try wiping out <build 
dir>/gcc/d/{*.o,id*} first.

Can you post your assembler/binutils version?

The rpm for binutils is: binutils-2.16.90.0.2-3mdk, and this seems to 
correspond with the version given by 'as':
GNU assembler 2.16.90.0.2 20050429

I was doing the build in a fresh directory, trying at the same time to 
get an rpm build working, using a simplified spec file that does what 
you describe in your build instructions.

I can try a different binutils if you think this may be useful - is 
there a particular version you recommend?

It looks like any release made before April 2005 will work.

If anyone is curious, the thread on the change in binutils that causes 
the problem is here:
