           Summary: [4.6 regression] "Add ARM VFP ABI support to libffi"
                    broke build for armv5tel-linux-gnueabi with
                    binutils-2.20.1
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: libffi
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: mikpe@it.uu.se


Attempting to build gcc-4.6-20101113 with --enable-languages=java (which
enables libffi) for armv5tel-linux-gnueabi with binutils-2.20.1 fails due to
the assembler complaining about VFP instructions in libffi's arm sysv.S:

Notes:
1. If binutils is downgraded to 2.19.1 then gas no longer complains.
2. gcc-4.6-20101023 built Ok with the same configuration (a number of
bootstrap-unbreaking patches were applied though). This error is a regression
from r166032, "Add ARM VFP ABI support to libffi":

I'm currently doing a 4.6 bootstrap and testsuite run with this patch applied.
It should be finished in a couple of hours.

Fixed, presumably by r167434.
