I am closing this bug now, because I believe that there is no bug at all.

When building binutils on hppa natively, one obtains binutils and binutils-hppa64 packages, which is fine. I therefore assumed that cross building binutils for a hppa target should also result in hppa64 binutils. This is neither the case nor necessary. One can cross build binutils twice setting TARGET=hppa-linux-gnu and TARGET=hppa64-linux-gnu respectively. This might be considered inconsistent, but it does not warrant keeping this bug open any longer. Helmut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
