Hi Aaro,

  This is actually the correct behaviour.  The strip utility is part of a group
of programs called the "binutils".  The command to install them is "make
install-binutils".  There is no support for building the strip program without
building the other binutils.  Thus there is no "make all-strip" target either.

Cheers
  Nick

Why?  Both .gnu.version and .dynstr are referred to from .dynsym.
ISTM that it would be as easy to improve the loader if it's reading
them in a funny order.

"install-strip" target should install stripped versions of binutils binaries -
the bug report was about that, and not about installing the strip program 
itself.

See: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html

Hi Taras,

  This sounds like a loader problem to me, rather than a binutils bug.  It is
relatively easy to rearrange the order of the .gnu.version, .dynstr and .dynsym
sections (see the uploaded patch), but I do not think that this is right way to
solve the problem.  If the loader is performing some backwards io to get at
those sections then I would suggest that it ought to be recoded to keep them in
memory after reading them for the first time.

Cheers
  Nick

Hi Brook,

  Please could you upload a small test lib file that we can use to examine this
problem ?

[Bug binutils/11496] New: make error

2010-04-13 Thread swen at pku dot edu dot cn
Hello, I try to roll back from binutils 2.20 to 2.18 in my system. I have
installed gcc-3.4 and g++-3.4, the ./configure doesn't report any error, however
when I try to make I got the error below:
