Description Radoslaw Szkodzinski 2012-03-04 12:00:53 UTC

It seems that new -revision of binutils has added gold version to the end of version string and this confuses the test.

A related issue is that glibc is ignoring $LD variable.

Here's the snippet from glibc's build.log:
checking for /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld... /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld
checking version of /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld... v. ?.??, bad

ld -V output:
GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.22) 1.11

config.log is not informative.
