Does it make sense to contribute m68k-amigaos that does not run with
mainline binutils? I always thought the two were supposed to work
together. I am just asking a question, not trying to make an argument.
By the way, where do I find the modified binutils? When I saw the modified
gcc for amigaos, I saw no references to modified binutils, but perhaps I
missed something.
