[gentoo-user] which binutils?
Something that has bothered me ever since I had some version inconsistencies way back in the dark days ... now a new binutils update is in (not listed below) bunyip ~ # binutils-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.16.1 * [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.17 [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.18 [5] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.18.50.0.1 On a mixed stable/unstable x86, which binutils should one generally use? latest coupled to a particular gcc/glibc version (where is the list?) oldest Anyone?

So why do you use multislot at all? On a previous job (long ago now) I was switching gcc's and needed multislot. Now I dont. I presume if I remove the flag, and 'emerge world -NuDv' it will clean up after itself properly - or is it better to leave as is (critical machine :( Billk -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'm not sure it cleans it on it's own. You may have to do it manually. Basically you just disable multislot for binutils, remerge it and then unmerge all other versions than the one you remerged... -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
