Upon trying to build binutils on FreeBSD 2.1R, the configure
script for gas does not have an obj_format for Freebsd. Is
freebsd using aout, coff, elf (I suppose thats only linux) ?
Is there an easy way to find out about this (so I dont have
to post stupid messages like this!?)

Actually, the reason I ask is because of difficulties building
libg++ 2.7.1. I get an assembler error half way through the
build saying that 'weak' is unknown.

Anyway, I'm thinking the latest gas will fix this... Any pointers
are greatly appreciated...
