retitle 175604 cxx's "compaq" mangling style not supported by binutils severity 175604 grave thanks
At some point in the past two years, binutils has stopped supporting the "compaq" C++ name mangling style. Therefore, cxx cannot be installed, and cannot function once installed; this applies to 6.3.9.7-1 currently in testing and my attempt to update to 6.5.9.31.
Does anyone know how this might be fixed? I guess an approach is to get an old binutils which worked and try to generate a patch, but I've no idea what's involved there...
I don't know if there is something to fix. If GCC's C++ mangling changed, it changed for a reason (not accidentally). This means that CXX's days may be over.
