This commit reverts 0bf6276392e9 ("x32: Warn and disable rather than
error if binutils too old").
The help text in arch/x86/Kconfig says enabling the X32 ABI support
needs binutils 2.22 or later. This is met because the minimal binutils
version is 2.23 according to Documentation/process/changes.rst.
I would not say I am not familiar with toolchain configuration, but
I mean:
I would not say I am familiar ...
That is why I added RFC.
I appreciate comments from people who are familiar
with toolchains (binutils, llvm).
If this change is not safe,
we can move this check to Kconfig at least.
Hi Masahiro,
As Fangrui pointed out, there are two outstanding issues with x32 with
LLVM=1, both seemingly related to LLVM=1.
Is this still a problem for Clang built Linux?
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/514
I am not tracking the status.
What was the conclusion?
This appears to no longer be reproducible so I closed it.
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1141
This got marked "unreproducible"
I just had a look at this and it is still reproducible (see the bug for
details).
Additionally, there appears to be one from Arnd as well but that one has
received no triage yet.
https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1205
Same as well.
Yeah, I cannot reproduce this.
It seems like a Kconfig test would still be best for the issue above, if
it is not too much to maintain.
Cheers,
Nathan
