Bug 307941 – sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1: buffer overflow detected in mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-ar

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexey Dobriyan 2010-03-05 21:48:18 UTC]

Can't build mips cross-compiler due to buffer overflow detection triggering.
Steps to reproduce:

        crossdev -p -v -S -s1 --without-headers -t mips64

I think this is toolchain's bug.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2010-07-06 14:46:06 UTC]

not interested in bugs in binutils-2.16.  upgrade to 2.20.
