Giulio, All,

On 2024-02-18 19:45 +0100, Giulio Benetti spake thusly:

My suggestion:
  - keep BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_BINUTILS_BUG_27597
  - make the sourcery toolchain select it.

For "soon" after BR 2024.02 release::
  - drop the sourcery toolchain: it is going to be 6 years old when
    BR 2024.05, so it's going to be time to drop it.

Yann E. MORIN.
