Bug 98052 – sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r10 doesn't create all symlinks

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ryan McIntosh 2005-07-05 14:09:22 UTC]

symlinks aren't created for ld, as, ar, nm, possibly others, when building on 
2005.0 amd64 stage 3 tarball

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /mnt/gentoo && tar xvjpf stage3-2005.0-amd64.tbz2
2. chroot . /bin/bash
3. source /etc/profile;env-update && emerge sync && emerge -u --nodeps --
oneshot binutils && ls -la /usr/bin/ld

Actual Results:  
no such file or directory

Expected Results:  
there should be a link to /usr/[arch]/binutils-bin/ld

if I make the links by hand, everything works jolly.

This is in the stable toolchain, the upgrade will break the toolchain.

##quick fix
cd /usr/bin
for i in `ls ../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.15.92.0.2/`
  do 
  ln -sf ../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/binutils-bin/2.15.92.0.2/$i x86_64-pc-gnu-$i 
  ln -sf x86_64-pc-gnu-$i $i
done

It wont create symlinks, as you just nuked the binutils-config dependency.
