Created attachment 204267 [details] updated binutils patch Attached a new binutils patch. Replace binutils-2.19.51.0.9-mint.patch with this binutils-2.20.51.0.1-mint.patch And leave the other patch alone in the ebuild. But ensure you uncomment both now.
Is there any progress in getting this applied upstream? 4.5MB is a bit huge as patch... anyway applied.
None yet, because we are considering ELF support. But thanks for adding.
Yikes, that patch isn't right. Let me fix and re-upload. It shouldn't be anywhere near that size.
re-opening. will upload shortly, but you might want to recomment out the mint patches for now.
