Source: binutils Version: 2.26-7 Severity: normal User: debian-sp...@lists.debian.org Usertags: sparc64
Hi! The gold linker was recently disabled in the binutils package on sparc/sparc64 due to lack of support for the STT_SPARC_REGISTER pseudo register in gold itself. According to binutils upstream, this issue has now been resolved [2] and I think we can therefore give it a try to re-enable gold on sparc/sparc64 again. Hence, please apply the following changes to binutils' packaging source: --- binutils-2.26/debian/rules 2016-03-21 22:22:47.000000000 +0100 +++ binutils-2.26/debian/rules.new 2016-03-21 22:23:55.810080267 +0100 @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ gold_targets = \ amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 \ mips mipsel mipsn32 mipsn32el mips64 mips64el \ - powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 ppc64el \ + powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 ppc64el sparc sparc64 \ x32 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 hurd-i386 ifneq (,$(filter $(DEB_HOST_ARCH), $(gold_targets))) Thanks, Adrian > [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803474 > [2] https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19019 -- .''`.
