[MiNT] binutils 2.21



Hello.

The binutils 2.21 have just been released. I have updated the MiNT patch and rebuilt all the MiNT cross-tools for Cygwin/Ubuntu. As usual, everything is available here:

Someone had discovered a cousin of the "cout bug" in gas for a.out targets, it has been fixed in this version. This bug occurred when there was a relative reference (bsr, etc.) to a defined weak symbol. This bug was very serious, because wrong code was generated, but I think it was a very rare situation, maybe never actually hit. Anyway, I have rebuilt everything with these new binutils, to be sure all is OK.

That's all - no big news.
GCC 4.5.2 will be out in some weeks, stay tuned.
