That and the fact it won't bind executables, and won't create a valid PE
file with anything other then normal 0x1000 alignment. If you find time
to fix that (binutils people refuse to fix it), I'd appreciate it.
The point of MSVC compilations, IMO:
- *SEH.*
- Headers
- Better code (gcc kind of sucks at win32 code)
- Faster speed (Gcc is very slow on non-linux OS)
- Smaller, cleaner output
- *Relocatable EXEs*
- *Easier debugging, even remote debugging*
- *PDB Files
*- Easier, more flexible and scalable build system
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
