This is the commit to view and which may help: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=00f4a6024f23a592a34b8a9bf46e28aa0b747fc5 You may wish to refer to the following mailing list messages and see if this may help the problem: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-04/msg00364.html and https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils-cvs/2016-04/msg00177.html Sincerely, William Harrington -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
