What version of binutils are you actually using currently? (binutils-config -l) If you are using one of the 2.16.91 versions, does 2.16.1 work?
Yes, I'm using binutils-2.16.91.0.5. I'm going to try with 2.16.1 right away.
Yes, with binutils-2.16.1 the compilation succeeds. Now the fact is, since I want to try the latest gcc-4.1 release, is this version of binutils fit for it? On the gcc site, they mention binutils > 2.16.91 is required only for IA-32/x86-64 targets. http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/changes.html
let the ppc team sort it out
GNU ld version 2.16.1 in usage currently.
Some of your use flags are really questionable. Redundant with your -mcpu/-mtune options: -mpowerpc-gfxopt You should never use this flag, it's set where needed by the ebuilds: -fPIC This option is still somewhat troublesome with 4.0, it should work better with 4.1: -ftree-vectorize As Luca said, 2.16.1 should be okay, Luca, should we mark that binutils -ppc?
Oops, I didn't mean to close it.
Luca says to close as invalid.
