Any particular rationale for this? The upstream behavior breaks, among other things: - All but the most recent Linux kernels, making it no longer possible to check out and build older kernels (or bisect them). - Many different libraries compiled with GHC. - Several ocaml programs. - uclibc The first two I ran into personally; the second I found within one minute of searching. I feel certain more exist; the error message certainly proves easy enough to search for. The fundamental problem: binutils introduced a brand new check and made it immediately default to an error, breaking piles of *working* code that previously didn't even generate a diagnostic. New warnings: fine. New errors: not OK, especially with no transition period. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
