Don't worry. I talked about the C code because the most of the code in
dfly is written in C, so this should be the first step. The fact is I
would like a base only with C code or with more languages available like
python, perl and gccgo :) (I think I'm dreaming). I think the arguments
from you and Samuel are correct both.
Compile dfly with two different compilers is very good for the project,
e.g.: clang cried like a baby because the bug in the Makefile of
libmagic but gcc ignored the problem.
I don't remember what was the problem with binutils. It's strange
because clang also can use the gold linker. But citrus is more important
now, so step by step.
Cheers.
