Note that one of the best benefits of the RPM packages is that they can be cleanly uninstalled. Binutils 2.18 can be uninstalled using the following command : rpm -e binutils --nodeps Then the latest official binutils can be downloaded http://www.atariforge.net/sparemint/RPMS/m68kmint/binutils-2.13.2.1-2.m68kmint.rpm and installed again: rpm -i binutils-2.13.2.1-2.m68kmint.rpm So testing a RPM package, even not clean, is harmless ! Note, Jean-François: you reported that with the last MiKRO packages: > - the -s option given to GCC does not seem to result in > stripping the binaries.
