Hm, I did nothing special there: [wolfram:~/gdb-6.6-build] andreast% ./config.status --recheck /home/andreast/gdb-6.6/configure --prefix=/home/andreast/gdb/testbin --disable-nls --with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local May I miss some stuff for fbsd in bfd? The build itself is done outside the source-tree. Thanks! Andreas
