I'd like to propose H.J. as release manager for a 2.12 branch.
Assuming that you (H.J.) are interested, and that you would
consider doing the lot, not just GNU/Linux.

(No, I have nothing but thanks for Phil Blundell.)

brgds, H-P

* Compiling kernel 2.4.17 fails at link stage

  To: linux-ia64, binutils

Hi,

I am trying to compile kernel 2.4.17 (with davidm's patches
linux-2.4.17-ia64-011226) using gcc-3.0.3 and binutils 2.11.92.0.12.3
20011121. I get the following error at final kernel link stage:

I don't see a newer version of binutils than the one I have. The patch for
discarded sections seems to be already in the ia64 kernel patches (I
checked the patch for alpha in the binutils release information and the
same seems to be in the corresponding ia64 file).

Here's more info. Any ideas to fix this is appreciated.

* Re: ppc problem with .rodata.str1.4. binutils requirement for gcc 3.3.1?

  To: binutils

I asked this on the gcc mailing list but they suggested to ask binutils.

In the course of building some powerpc startup code we found ld complaining
about "allocated section `.rodata.str1.4' not in segment" and "allocated
section `.eh_frame' not in segment".  I observed that some of the objects in
the startup had .rodata.str1.4 sections in them.  I also observed that if I
took the ld from binutils 2.12.1 to 2.14, the problem went away.

I didn't find any talk of a hard binutils requirement for the 3.3 series of
gcc but perhaps I missed it.  Can anyone shed some light on this?  I hope
I'm not too astonishing in my ignorance but this .rodata.str1.x doesn't seem
to be generated by our older gcc and I don't really know what the
significance of it all is.

Essentially we're in the middle of a release and are stuck at our current
gcc and binutils versions for the moment so if anyone can give me an idea of
how to understand/work around the problem, I'd be very grateful.

cheers,

Kris
