Re: version-independent url for binutils documentation?
Hi Karl, Would it be feasible to make, say, http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ simply a link to docs-2.18? That seems like it might be simplest. Yes it would, and I have now done that.

Re: patch for HPUX SOM on non-HPUX systems
Hi David, Here is a patch to allow hpux's som target to build on non-hpux hosts. Thanks for submitting this. I have a couple of comments on the patch: * I think that the somswap.h file would be better off in the bfd/ directory rather then the include/som directory, on the basis that this is exactly the sort of thing that the bfd library tries to hide from its users. * What is the purpose of the include/som/a.out.h header ? It just includes other headers which could easily be done by its users. How did you test this patch ? (ie which non-hpux hosts did you try it out on ?) The patch applies to binutils-2.18, and is licensed under gpl v2. The files in the patch are copyrighted to Quest Software. As far as I am aware Quest Software does not have a binutils copyright assignment on file with the FSF, so we cannot accept the file as is. Would Quest Software like to file a copyright assignment ? Also - the current binutils sources are licensed under gpl v3. Are Quest Software prepared to allow their patch to be relicensed under this version ?

[Bug binutils/5494] No source debugging information with relative path by objdump
--- Additional Comments From nickc at redhat dot com 2007-12-24 16:44 --- Hi Yang, I tried this test using the latest binutils and gcc and it worked. Please try using these versions and see if you can reproduce the problem. If so, then please let us know how you configured your toolchain and which host you are using when you run the tools.

[Bug ld/5522] New: Section contents partially overwritten with zero
Hello!
When linking the attached files using the command line
ld -q -T bss.lds attention.o libbss.a -o attention.bso
with ld 2.18 targeted for ELF (tested on Linux with version 2.18-1 from Debian,
and on Windows by building binutils 2.18.50 on MinGW with target "i386-pc-elf"),
the first 8 bytes of the section ".bs.server.name" are overwritten with zero.
I.e.,
objdump -s -j .bs.server.name attention.o
gives
Contents of section .bs.server.name:
41747465 6e74696f 6e536967 6e00 AttentionSign.
whereas
objdump -s -j .bs.server.name attention.bso
gives
Contents of section .bs.server.name:
400620 6e536967 6e00 nSign.
A similar problem occurs with the file "car.o"; in that case the entire contents
of ".bs.server.name" and ".bs.server.service" come out as zero. The section
lengths are correct, however.
Many similar files are linked just fine, but the problem is reproducable with
these specific files, even though it looks pretty random to me. There are no
relocs in the affected sections, so the section contents should stay exactly the
same IMHO.
Please mail me if you want to generate the files yourself.
Thanks,
Sebastian Reichelt
