Though overall activity has been fairly low since about last March (wonder why ;-), there has been more than enough change to warrant a release. In particular 0.152 doesn't build happily with the newest compilers.
In the absence of strenuous and explained objection, I'm going to merge the robustify branch into the trunk.
I've just completed -D/-U support in ar/ranlib and the --enable-deterministic-archvies configure option, for parity with current binutils.
Mark is going to look into a new elflint-self regression on Fedora 17. Chances are that is a toolchain bug rather than something for us to fix. But it needs figured out before we consider a release.
I don't know of anything else anyone intends to work on any time soon. If you have any plans, please post about them.
Once Mark's investigation comes to a conclusion, I think we should do 0.153.
Thanks, Roland
