Ricardo, All,

On 2017-07-23 22:02 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:
[--SNIP--]
> I plan on doign those tests;

  - build on 16.04, run on 16.04
    ==> builds and runs OK

  - build on 16.04, run on 17.04
    ==> builds and runs OK

  - build on 17.04, run on 16.04
    ==> builds OK, does not run.

So, I think this is realyl a regression with newer binutils:

    $ ls -l fail/build/grub-0.97/stage1/stage1
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 ymorin ymorin 129M juil. 23 22:10 stage1

    $ ls -l works/build/grub-0.97/stage1/stage1
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 ymorin ymorin  512 juil. 23 22:09 stage1

Similarly with stage2 and above, with file reaching over 256MiB...

So, definitely something fishy with binutils-2.28...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
