I don't know if I encountered a bug of if I just broke something out of ignorance. If this is a bug, I'll happily submit a proper bug report. If I'm an idiot, please tell me I'm an idiot.
I took a cvs snapshot of binutils, threw in my usual hefty collection of patches, and built. I've never had any problems building with all my patches before, and they all applied cleanly, but this time I'm getting the following error: gas/doc/as.texinfo:25: @include 'bfdver.texi' No such file or directory. I see all the pertinent info in bfd/doc/Makefile to build bfdver.texi, however, apparently it didn't, because I'm not seeing it in the bdf doc directory. In fact, currently in my build directory, the bdf/doc directory is empty save for the Makefile. Is it building out of order? Given the possibility this is my own fault, you can see the compiled hunk of all my patches here: http://enderandrew.com/linux/patches/binutils/binutils-ender.patch.bz2 Again, none of these patches have given me grief in the past, and with my Gentoo boxes I'm generally building binutils pretty often just for fun. That patch applies cleanly to 2.17.50.0.17 - since I downloaded a CVS snapshot, I made a diff from CVS against 2.17.50.0.17 and threw it in the patches folder, and when I was done, I tested the full patch against 2.17.50.0.17, and that is what my ebuild pulled. I grepped through the patch for mentions of bdfver.texi and found nothing, so I'm not sure how the patches would have broken anything. I've tested, and I can force the build with a "make -ik all" and that will finish, but I'd rather have a proper, working build. If anyone is curious, I can give you all the patches broken out. I'm also aware that some of the patches I run with are frowned upon (such as Bdirect) but I've used them without problems for quite a while now.

Lastly, if anyone knows of any other distros that have binutils patches, I like building the testing-toolchain-of-doom, if you haven't noticed. -- T. J.
