I cannot remember seeing anything. I posted here 3 weeks ago about fixed binutils: "No assertion fails, no internal errors, no segfaults anymore." Of course a lot of binaries don't link when --as-needed is specified due to incorrect usage: libraries specified before objects, objects linked with underlinked libraries, etc. These bugs are not related to binutils, but since we enabled --as-needed by default in Sisyphus, we have to fix such bugs. --=20 ldv --GID0FwUMdk1T2AWN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline Content-length: 191 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEOCm4fKvmrJ41Nh4RAhLmAJ9tyroKeEDOpVastDpdvjy90fd7KwCfbVpR NiJtUn8x5cio8u7PjRyTiQ4= =WzrV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GID0FwUMdk1T2AWN--
