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. --- INSTALL | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index 4e05e9922b..5c745244a6 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -448,7 +448,7 @@ build the GNU C Library: Check the FAQ for any special compiler issues on particular platforms. - * GNU 'binutils' 2.22 or later + * GNU 'binutils' 2.25 or later You must use GNU 'binutils' (as and ld) to build the GNU C Library.
