The configury works fine when used with version 2.13.2 so it appears the extra digit on the current release is confusing the regexp. The regexp needs to be reworked but I haven't been able to come up with a working version up to this point. This is a critical problem as it results in gcc not correctly identifying that our binutils has .hidden support which then results in non-functioning __cxa_atexit support in glibc which is obviously bad when gcc is now always configured with --enable__cxa_atexit. Ultimate result is segfaulting c++ binaries. More info can be found here:- http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2003-01/msg01396.html >How-To-Repeat: Install FSF binutils-2.13.2.1 then configure gcc to use those binutils and watch as it says:- checking assembler hidden support... no >Fix: Fix the regexp in the configure script. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
