'make pdf' fails due to: [PATCH] Let '^' through the lexer]

[Tobias Burnus]

Hi Michael, hi all,

currently, "make pdf V=1" fails as follows due to the bare ^

I think one of the approaches suggested at
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/77646/how-to-typeset-the-symbol-caret-circumflex-hat
should be applied.

I think the simplest would be to use \^{}  instead of ^, i.e.

--- a/ld/ld.texi
+++ b/ld/ld.texi
@@ -6864 +6864 @@ height2pt&\omit&&\omit&&\omit&\cr
-&8&&left&&^&\cr
+&8&&left&&\^{}&\cr

* * *

Thanks,

Tobias

Bah, sorry.  My TeX became too rusty and I'll admit I don't have the 
thousands latex packages installed here.  I changed that part nevertheless 
in the hope that somebody would scream if it was wrong.  Seems to have 
worked :-)  Thanks Tobias and Alan.

Ciao,
Michael.
