Summary: Review Request: arm-gp2x-linux-binutils - Cross Compiling GNU binutils targeted at arm-linux https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234749 ------- Additional Comments From rc040203@xxxxxxxxxx 2007-05-25 04:02 EST ------- (In reply to comment #9) > (In reply to comment #8) > > Hans, could you elaborate this change: > > > > * Thu May 24 2007 Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx> 2.17-1 > > - Revert to GNU 2.17 release as using GNU releases are better for non linux > > targets > > > > You revert to using the FSF sources, nevertheless you call this target "*-linux"? > > > > Yes, my bad, thats a copy and paste error from the avr-binutils spec. After much > experimenting and researching what others did, I ended up using FSF > binutils-2.16.1 as that is what all other available preconfigured toolchains for > this target use. However 2.16 has a bug which causes ar and ranlib to fail when > compiled with -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2, which is fixed in binutils 2.17 . I know :) I had a patch for my rtems binutils packages when binutils-2.16 was current. Jakub had a different one. > Since the > other available toolchains use FSF binutils and since 2.16 was giving me some > problems, I decided to go to FSF 2.17 OK with me. There is nothing wrong with using FSF source on linux targets, I just wanted to know, because diverging from "nominal upstream" can cause nasty incompatiblities. (Note: binutils-2.16 and binutils-2.17 aren't necessarily compatible). > * http://open2x.org > I'm modeling my current Fedora attempts after their work, I'm using: > gcc-4.1.2 > binutils-2.17 > glibc-2.3.6 + linuxthreads OK, that's what I wanted to know. It means naming the target *-linux is legitimated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
