Can you be specific? The bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory code in BFD now works just fine. There is a standing suggestion from Jim to change the signature of the TARGET_READ_MEMORY function pointer argument, which is certainly fine (and two minutes' work). I would be happy to prepare that change right away if it's what people want. I don't know of any other way in which this might be considered "dropped" or "not sorted out". If there is anything else you have in mind, please tell me about it. Thanks, Roland
