Hi Torsten,

Yes - unless you use a patched version of binutils.  See below.

It does not.

It should, and so I am checking in the attached patch.  With this 
applied I am able to disassemble the binary that Torsten sent, without 
having to modify it in any way.

Torsten: Please note that this patch allows the binutils code to read 
binary files produced by the GreenHills toolchain.  It does not make it 
produce binaries that are compatible with the GreenHills toolchain 
however.  So if you use the GNU linker to create an executable it 
probably not be compatible with the GreenHills disassembler, debugger, 
etc.  (I am assuming that GreenHills does not support the EM_V850 
machine number).

Cheers

	* elf32-v850.c (ELF_MACHINE_ALT2): Define so that binaries
	produced by the GreenHills toolchain can be assimilated.
