From 073e8fa7739ed453d6854b834f290c263a6cdb9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joseph Myers Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 11:31:50 +0000 Subject: Require binutils 2.25 or later to build glibc. This patch implements a requirement of binutils >= 2.25 (up from 2.22) to build glibc. Tests for 2.24 or later on x86_64 and s390 are removed. It was already the case, as indicated by buildbot results, that 2.24 was too old for building tests for 32-bit x86 (produced internal linker errors linking elf/tst-gnu2-tls1mod.so). I don't know if any configure tests for binutils features are obsolete given the increased version requirement. Tested for x86_64. * configure.ac (AS): Require binutils 2.25 or later. (LD): Likewise. * configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/s390/configure.ac (AS): Remove version check. * sysdeps/s390/configure: Regenerated. * sysdeps/x86_64/configure.ac (AS): Remove version check. * sysdeps/x86_64/configure: Regenerated. * manual/install.texi (Tools for Compilation): Document requirement for binutils 2.25 or later. * INSTALL: Regenerated. --- manual/install.texi | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'manual') diff --git a/manual/install.texi b/manual/install.texi index ff5661a4fd..03eb2dd93b 100644 --- a/manual/install.texi +++ b/manual/install.texi @@ -493,7 +493,7 @@ You can use whatever compiler you like to compile programs that use Check the FAQ for any special compiler issues on particular platforms. @item -GNU @code{binutils} 2.22 or later +GNU @code{binutils} 2.25 or later You must use GNU @code{binutils} (as and ld) to build @theglibc{}.
