Hi,

For your information;
I just test build Linus' tip of the kernel tree (HEAD at 
064922a805ec7aadfafdd27aa6b4908d737c3c1d) on a up-to-date 
Slackware-current distro and hit this problem:

Hello all,

Slackware-current does not use binutils 2.18.50.0.4.20080208, but rather 
binutils-2.17.50.0.17.  We've run into a few unusual issues with newer 
binutils versions, so we tend to be rather cautious about having that 
package on the bleeding edge.

I'd be curious if using the binutils-2.17.50.0.17 package from 
slackware-current would avoid this problem, but also wanted to let 
people know that the system in question had a critical part of the 
toolchain replaced with something that didn't come from our set of packages.

Best regards,

Pat

Fron the slackware-current changelog :
Sat Feb 23 01:30:50 CST 2008
...
d/binutils-2.18.50.0.4-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to binutils-2.18.50.0.4.

$ which ld
/usr/bin/ld
juhl@dragon:~/kernel/linux-2.6$ grep usr/bin/ld /var/log/packages/*
...
/var/log/packages/binutils-2.18.50.0.4-i486-1:usr/bin/ld
...

That's the package I have and it was indeed part of Slackware current
when I fetched it.

I see now, on closer inspection that the changelog also says ;

Fri Feb 29 14:00:57 CST 2008
...
d/binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1.tgz: Reverted to binutils-2.17.50.0.17 due to
       many reports of ld bugs...
...

My scripts missed that, but I'll grab that package now and downgrade
and try to reproduce the problem.

Having downgraded binutils to 2.17.50.0.17.20070615 I no longer see this error.

I now see a different build error with my config, but that's now a new
issue and nothing to do with binutils or Slackware.

This was fixed in current CVS by
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2008-02/msg00052.html

One workaround is to build binutils on a 64-bit host.

I'm pretty sure this is already fixed in HEAD.  If you can reproduce
it with HEAD, please use the binutils mailing list or bugzilla to
report the problem.  Thanks.
