problem with ar

[Bambero]

Hi

I just compiled some packages for my embeded system using 
gentoo-uclibc-stage3.
Everything i fine but when I chroot to my new system and try to compile 
ex. sed
"ar" returns me an error:

rm -f libsed.a
ar cru libsed.a getopt1.o getopt.o utils.o strverscmp.o regex.o
ar: libsed.a: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [libsed.a] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

when I try to do that by hand the error is the same:

[root@pr:/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4/lib#] ar cru libsed.a getopt1.o 
getopt.o utils.o strverscmp.o regex.o
ar: libsed.a: No such file or directory
[root@pr:/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4/lib#]

but when i try:
[root@pr:/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4/lib#] ar cru libsed.a
[root@pr:/usr/local/src/sed/sed-4.1.4/lib#]

everything is fine.
Anyone knows where is the problem ?

Problem with 2.16 MIPS as (MIPS TLS support)

[Khem Raj]

Hi,

The following instruction usage
    lw $3,%tpoff(foo)($28)
is giving error on mips 2.16 as
while going through

http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/index.php/NPTL
It mentions this intructions use in initial exec TLS model
but 2.16 gas seems not to understand tpoff relocation directive

Has 'tpoff' directive been implemented with a different name in 2.16

Thanks

Yes.  If you look through the mailing list archives, you'll see that I
was asked to rename the operators.

You can find updated patches in the GCC and glibc repositories that
expect the new names.

Hi Bambero,

This is a bug.

Which version of binutils are you using ?
Which host and target are involved ?

Do you have a simple test case which can reproduce the problem ?

Cheers
