Tried, but can't test that. Putting the old binutils on the machine just makes the build fail:
Linking CXX executable ../../bin/mir_unit_tests.bin /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/crti.o: unrecognised relocation (0x2a) in section `.init' /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value or starting again from scratch gives the same error and reports it as: CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.2/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message): The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program. Would need to downgrade the compilers on the machine too :P That said, I think there's also a chance that some 3rd party library we're pulling in (and have always pulled in) might cause this on xenial. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522726 Title: [regression] Linking mir_unit_tests.bin now takes a very long time (minutes) even on a fast machine (previously just seconds) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1522726/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
