[PATCH] gas FreeBSD/Alpha configure support

[PATCH] gas FreeBSD/Alpha configure support

[David O'Brien]

Note that the generation of configure from configure.in had an error for
FreeBSD 2.x machines.  This patch is for both HEAD and the 2.10 branch.

Being responsible for the last gas/configure generation, I felt
compelled to reply.

Not so much a generation error as gas/configure.in having a
quotation bug.  I'm using Ian's recommended auto* snapshots, so
it's impossible for there to be a bug. :-)

BTW, please don't patch */configure (except the toplevel one)
which are generated files; patch configure.in like below.

Ok to commit?

This is fine; please apply it to the 2.10 branch as well as the trunk.

Don't suppose I could talk someone into doing the commit?  I don't have
CVS write access.

Hans-Peter already checked it in.

I noticed that there is no FreeBSD/Alpha support in ld at the moment, at least 
not on the branch.  Do you have a patch for that as well?

Sorry for not mentioning the patch for configure.tgt that I submitted
yesterday was for both HEAD and 2.10 branch.

I've applied this to the branch.  Are there any other patches necessary for 
FreeBSD?

p.

next release

[Philip Blundell]

So, it's that time again when thoughts inevitably turn to a new version of 
GNU binutils.  I'd like to aim for a release at the start of March, with a 
freeze at the end of January.  

If you're sitting on patches for new ports or other features, the next few 
weeks are the ideal time to dust 'em off and send 'em in.  If you're working 
on something that you'd like to be included, but you aren't sure it will be 
ready in time, let me know.

Please test your favourite targets and make sure they are in tip-top condition.  
If you know of bugs, or missing functionality, speak out now.

Thanks

You're thinking of a new *major* release, right?

Mostly for a minor release, please consider
<URL: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-12/msg00098.html >.

Or we should not use AM_PROG_LEX but instead some local
AM_BINUTILS_PROG_LEX where the bug is fixed.  Hmm.

>You're thinking of a new *major* release, right?

Yes.  I don't think it would be worthwhile to make another minor release from 
the 2.10 branch at this point.

Or just copy the fixed definition of AM_PROG_LEX to acinclude.m4.

From FreeBSD's point, I agree.  2.10.0 was a god-send, and I was very
happy to see 2.10.1 released to fix some nits.  At this point, FreeBSD's
assembler and linker needs are being well met by the GNU Binutils team.
Thank you!!  :-)))
