This is possible, but before deciding, could we briefly pursue 2
questions:

1) Do we know what happens on mingw with binutils .8?  Can we find out
   if not?

2) Could you or Mike try to compile that simple little test with 'cos'
   only, let me know if it works, and why not if not?

I don't want to spend a lot of time either, but these should be quick
I'm hoping.  I'd like to have the greatest possible chance of never
having to look back at the 2.6 series.

Take care,
