Hi all,
Currently the binutils job that gets run via cbuild configures with
--enable-gold. I guess this could be useful to ensure the gold build
is not broken, but has the downside of slowing down the build and
causing make check to fail.
I propose we do not enable gold until such a time as we wish to
formally support gold and fix the broken make check.
Does anybody have any objections to doing that?
Yes... In theory binutils includes gold - and at least for arm*-*-* targets
it should work.
However, I can also see your point. Can I suggest we do something different
then:
1) Disable gold in the binutils cbuild job.
2) Have a new binutils-gold job which disable the traditional BFD linker and
enables gold.
This keeps the fact that gold is broken 'alive' in the build system, but
allows us to show that binutils with ld is fine.
Thanks,
Matt
