| 4-30-06 4.1.0-1+b1 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 fast link
| 5-30-06 4.1.0-4 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 fast link
| 5-30-06 4.1.0-4 2.17-1 slow link
| 6-30-06 4.1.1-5 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 fast link
| 6-30-06 4.1.1-5 2.17-1 slow link

| The date column is for the day used to pull in g++-4.1 and binutils with the

| It is clear that the problem with slow linking comes from binutils version

| Dirk -- could you try and see if downgrading binutils to something less than
| 2.17-1 restores saner link times?
Nice work, and I can surely try this. Now, I don't see a recent non-2.17
version of binutils anywhere in .deb form for i386. Before I go off an
rebuild, could you place your version somewhere where I can fetch it from?
