[Bug other/26692] New: Build configure misses valid ld in hidden test

[dave at datatone dot co dot uk]

The latest binutils from (linux) kernel.org is:
GNU ld version 2.16.91.0.6

The version test in gcc/configure fails (I think) because it doesn't check for
five digit groups in the version number. I hand-edited configure to add an
extra line that tests for the extra group and that seemed to work.
This issue makes the build think that the linker doesn't support 'hidden'; then
an attempt to compile glibc with the resulting compiler gives:

checking whether __attribute__((visibility())) is supported... no

and glibc can't be built.

Don't use That binutils.  That is not an official FSF binutils.

Can you attach config.log from the gcc subdirectory?

Ah... I have taken your previous comment to heart and have replaced 
binutils with binutils-2.16.1.

I am now recompiling the compiler and all is well with the hidden test. 
However, I will go back
and recreate the kernel.org binutils situation ASAP.

Regards,
Dave

Closing as won't fix as this version of binutils is not an official version of
binutils.
