[PATCH] Documentation/Changes: update binutils version requirement for ARMv7 builds

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




ARMv7 builds now make use of the pldw opcode and the ".arch_extension mp"
pragma.  These aren't supported in binutils prior to 2.21.  So, update
Documentation/Changes accordingly.
