[ros-kernel] Feature freeze

[nick_journals]

Hi Gé,

I downloaded the latest version from the url, however when starting to
compile I get a crash in NTVDM of my W2K. :-(
When replacing it with the old one, no crash. Any ideas on what might be
causing this?

Greets,
Nick

A request to Nick: could you update your binutils before building the
binaries? The newer windres.exe in that binutils fixes some problems
with icon resources, so that the icons look much better on 32bpp
displays. Below is the message in which Filip describes the problem and
the solution.

Thanks, Gé van Geldorp.
