------- Additional Comments From vincent dot riviere at freesbee dot fr 2007-05-22 20:57 ------- Fixing this "bug" may not be a good idea, because the build fails later for another reason : gcc ... readelf.c ../bfd/bfd.h:103:3: #error No 64 bit integer type available
There is also another bad smell : when running make just after running configure without arguments, the following warnings are displayed : $ make make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/mtxt/binutils-2.17.obj' mkdir -p -- ./libiberty Configuring in ./libiberty configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target configure: WARNING: invalid host type: configure: creating cache ./config.cache Note that everything works perfectly on a filesystem in binmode. Something surely goes wrong in the configure stuff when textmode is used. It might be nice to fix the binutils so they can compile in textmode, but we can be sure that there is a *lot* of other software that fails to be built in textmode. The best solution may be to check for textmode at runtime, and fail with an error message saying that the user must switch to binmode for compiling. Furthermore, the Cygwin setup program itself clames that it is NOT RECOMMENDED to use textmode...
