Description Iwan Aucamp 2010-08-23 18:52:47 UTC

sys-devel/crossdev-20100620 does not update symlinks for binutils when binutils is upgraded.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unmask
~cross-mips-linux-uclibc/linux-headers-2.6.34 ~x86 ~mips
~cross-mips-linux-uclibc/uclibc-0.9.30.1-r1 ~x86 ~mips

2. ensure cross-mips-linux-uclibc/binutils-2.16.1-r3 will install (i.e. not later version)

3.setup env
export CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
export CHOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
export CTARGET=mips-linux-uclibc
export UCLIBC_CPU=MIPS_ISA_MIPS32


4. Invoke Crossdev
crossdev -S -P -v -t mips-linux-uclibc

5. Above fails @ gcc build

6. unmask ~cross-mips-linux-uclibc/binutils-2.20.1 ~x86 ~mips

7. Invoke Crossdev
crossdev -S -P -v -t mips-linux-uclibc

## this fails again @ gcc - no ar found

5. observe broken symlinks:

ls -l /usr/bin/mips-linux-uclibc-*
ls -l /usr/libexec/gcc/mips-linux-uclibc
Actual Results:  
all symlinks broken

Expected Results:  
symlinks corrected

attached is additional info
