[Python-Dev] Issue with distutils and new mingw binutils

[Paul Moore]

Can I draw python-dev's attention to http://bugs.python.org/issue3496 ?

Without this fix, distutils doesn't support the new version of
binutils (which is probably coming into more common use). It would be
good if this could be fixed for 2.6. I've attached a patch to the
issue report, could someone possibly check it over and apply if
appropriate?

Thanks,
Paul.
