Bug 498008 – sys-devel/gdb-9999 should not build and install binutils

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description octoploid 2014-01-13 15:03:44 UTC]

Currently gdb-9999 uses the combined binutils-gdb git tree,
but doesn't disable the linker, gas, etc. during configuration.
Therefore all of these components are build and installed.

I would suggest to add a line like:
  --disable-{binutils,gold,gas,ld,readline,sim}
to the ebuild.

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

disabling readline/sim makes no sense as those are both used by gdb

sim yes. But gdb finds and uses the external readline lib just fine.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

ok, but that's unrelated to the binutils tree merge
