Source: binutils Version: 2.27-8 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
Hi Matthias, as promised I am working on adding dependency cross translation for binutils and I am mostly finished with an initial proof of concept and am sorting out the remaining issues. While working on that, I tried to take care not to break any build variant of binutils and noticed that targeted cross binutils builds (i.e. writing a particular target to debian/target) are broken in sid already. The rule for generating debian/control does not interpolate all variables and thus debian/control is not parseable. I think that the targeted cross binutils variant is still relevant as the in-archive cross binutils cannot cover new architectures (e.g. nios2, arm64ilp32 or just hurd-i386). Can you apply the patch such that I can test this along with the other variants? Thank you Helmut
