hi,
what's the difference between file eg
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ar
/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ar
they have different size?
actually all file in /usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ has a pair in /usr/bin/
with different size (and not link to each other). is this intentional or
just some kind of accident?
I suspect they start out the same, but prelink stupidity kicks in.
$ rpm -qlvp mingw32-binutils-2.18.50_20080109_2-8.fc9.x86_64.rpm | grep ar\$

/usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-ar
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 622560 Sep 24 16:52
/usr/i686-pc-mingw32/bin/ar
Unfortunately although I keep going on about how prelink is the most
completely broken concept ever, it persists in all versions of Fedora.
