Binutils documentation: @dircategory is missing in Texinfo files

2010-10-19 Thread Christophe Jarry
Dear developers,

I downloaded GNU binutils 2.20.1 and found that command `...@dircategory' is 
missing in the following Texinfo files:

- bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo,
- gas/doc/as.texinfo,
- gprof/gprof.texi,
- ld/ld.texinfo.

While `binutils/doc/binutils.texi' has:

  @dircategory Software development
  @direntry
  * Binutils: (binutils). The GNU binary utilities.
  @end direntry

Christophe

Binutils 2.21: ld: ABI is incompatible with that of the selected emulation

2011-05-30 Thread Christophe Jarry
Dear developers,

I tried to build GCC 4.6.0 and it failed. The error seems to come from
Binutils so I post here. Here is what I did.

Under gNewSense metad (a freed version of Debian Lenny), I first built
binutils 2.21 as follows:

cd binutils-build
CC="gcc -B/usr/bin/" ../binutils-2.20/configure \
--prefix=/tools --disable-nls --disable-werror
make
make install
make -C ld clean
make -C ld LIB_PATH=/tools/lib
cp -v ld/ld-new /tools/bin
cd ..
rm -rf binutils-2.21
rm -rf binutils-build

I ran some tests:

`type ld` gave me "ld is /tools/bin/ld".

All went well, so I tried to build GCC 4.6.0 (with GMP 5.0.2, MPFR
3.0.1 and MPC 0.8.2):

cd gcc-build
CC="gcc -B/usr/bin/" ../gcc-4.6.O/configure --prefix=/tools \
--disable-nls --disable-multilib --enable-shared \
--enable-languages=c
make bootstrap

After about 5 hours on Loongson 2F (Lemote Yeeloong), I encounter the
following error message:

/tools/mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld: skipping incompatible

FYI, my .bashrc:

set +h
umask 022
SYSDIR=/opt/mygnulinux
LC_ALL=POSIX
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
DOWNLOADDIR=${SYSDIR}/sources
BUILDDIR=${SYSDIR}/build
MABI="n32"
BUILD_MABI="-mabi=${MABI}"
PS1='\[\e[32m\]\t\[\e[00m\]:\[\e[32m\]\W\[\e[00m\]\$ '
export SYSDIR LC_ALL PATH DOWNLOADDIR BUILDDIR MABI BUILD_MABI
export PS1

My .bash_profile:

exec env -i HOME=${HOME} TERM=${TERM} PS1=${PS1} /bin/bash

System's GCC is 4.4.5.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for your help,

Christophe
