Bug 96592 – binutils 2.16.90.0.3 break gcc-4.0.1-pre20050616

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Ullmann (RETIRED) 2005-06-20 03:47:52 UTC]

binutils 2.16.90.0.3 break gcc-4.0.1-pre20050616 compilation, downgrade of
binutils let it compile just fine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =binutils-2.16.90.0.3
2. emerge =gcc-4.0.1-pre20050616

Actual Results:  
After some compile steps, it says "ld: BFD-2.16.90.0.3 breakage detected, please
send a bugreport"
It appears at different points if you redo this, but happens everytime.

If you downgrade to 2.16.1 it works just fine.

I also have this problem.

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2005-06-20 20:07:45 UTC]

try this patch:
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2005-06/msg00512.html

if it works, re-open and i'll add it to our binutils

[Comment 3 giggles1 2005-06-21 08:47:48 UTC]

I can't get that patch to apply at all. It spits out rejects for every last file
except bfd/elfxx-mips.c. 

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2005-06-27 22:08:02 UTC]

re-opening to close properly ...

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2005-06-27 22:08:57 UTC]

in the future file bugs against pre gcc releases that are unrelated to the
ebuilds upstream

binutils 2.16.91.0.1 is in portage, it may work, it may not ... either way, an
acceptable workaround is to compile with binutils 2.16.1
