Things like kernel (patch proposed), opensbi (patch proposed), u-boot, grub and similar. Kudos to Aurelien Jarno for sending these patches already. The warnings can be ignored here IIRC. The patch was proposed back in December: [PATCH 1/2] RISC-V: Don't report mismatch warnings when versions are larger than 1.0. https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-December/119060.html But it wasn't committed yet. The patch was part of the series to change default ISA to 20191213. IIUC all combinations: - GCC 12 + binutils 2.38 - GCC 11 + binutils 2.37 - GCC 12 + binutils 2.37 are valid, but you might want to use --with-isa-spec=2.2 for now until some of the packages are patched.

Kudos to Aurelien Jarno for > sending these patches already. seems to be a bit more ... we are seeing a lot of build failures building parts of the KDE stack. https://launchpadlibrarian.net/582482377/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-riscv64.ktexteditor_5.90.0-0ubuntu2_BUILDING.txt.gz while you see only warnings, the linker errors out. Also GCC 11 fails to build with binutils 2.38: libtool: link: `sstream-inst.lo' is not a valid libtool object make[8]: *** [Makefile:633: libc++11convenience.la] Error 1 Is there a plan, or procedure to follow doing this ISA change for a set of packages, e.g. building packages in a particular order? > The warnings can be ignored here IIRC.

IMO the binutils 2.38 release should default to the old ISA. Matthias
