The 2.0 version of the binutils distribution is now available from the
"usual" places (such as anonymous ftp from pub/gnu/binutils-2.0.tar.Z
on prep.ai.mit.edu).

This is completely re-written from the original GNU binutils
distribution, and is based on a Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library
that provides support for multiple object file formats as well as
cross-development.  (BFD is also used by gdb and some versions of gas.) 
Included in this distribution are the GNU linker, the binary utilities 
(ar, ranlib, nm, objdump, size, copy, strip), and a new version of gprof.

The released code was written (mostly) by Cygnus, and has been
shipped to Cygnus customers.  However, it has not been extensively
tested on many machines.  So treat this as any release with a
version number ending with 0 - with healthy skepticism!  Also,
think of this as a hacker release:  If you can't get it to work,
we probably won't have time to help you, especially since I'm
going on vacation right now and won't be available for 3 weeks!  
Secondary contact addresses can be found in binutils-2.0/binutils/README.
There are also various features missing in this release, including 
ports, shared libraries, missing options; volunteers willing to
tackle these projects would be most welcome.  (See the files
binutils/TODO, bfd/TODO, and ld/TODO.)
