Originally it was historical - the binutils project was started a long time before the gnulib project. These days it is an effort issue - as in it will take a lot of effort to switch over to using gnulib, and I just do not have the time. But if someone else is interested in doing the work then I am not against it. There may be some technical issue - I seem to remember seeing some posts in the past about problems with gnulib - but these can probably be resolved. Also I am not sure about the state of the documentation for gnulib. If it is minimal, as the gnulib project's web page suggests, then this is going to hinder adoption into the binutils. Cheers Nick
