Hi Julian!

Is there any reason why binutils only produces static libraries (installed in /usr/lib) and not dynamic? If the only reason is "by default", should we switch to dynamic libraries? I could do that if you agree.
This is a side question of trying to cast mono-debugger which doesn't like our BFD library (libbfd). I have to figure that one out anyway... If anyone's interested, it spews lots of undefined references, and based on observation that they aim at binutils 2.12 and gcc 2.9x, I think ./configure has to be patched.
Thank you!

Sergey.
