Ken, I've found that the 4.0pre code has problems with ld version 2.7. This is the version shipped with redhat 4.2. Basically, the problem is that ld creates a huge binary image. I guess objdump took care of this. Redhat 5.0 (ld ver 2.8.1) is fine. You may want to list this as a known problem so you don't too much mail about it after release.
