Bug ID: 18482
Summary: inconsistent bfd-plugins directory for cross-compiler
tools
Product: binutils
Version: 2.25
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: ossman at cendio dot se
Target Milestone: ---
The path to the bfd-plugins directory is computed a bit wonky when you're
building binutils for cross-compilation, resulting in it looking in two
different locations depending on how you call it.
Basically it always looks for it as <progdir>/../lib/bfd-plugins. The problem
is that <progdir> will be <bindir> if you call <target>-nm, but <tooldir>/bin
if you call nm (in the tooldir directory). IOW, e.g. an ARM cross compiler will
look in these two places:
/usr/bin/../bin/../lib/bfd-plugins
/usr/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/../bin/../lib/bfd-plugins
Besides the fact that I now have to dump plugins in two places, I'm also
concerned that all my different binutils share /usr/lib/bfd-plugins. Does gcc's
LTO plugin handle every possible target? Or will I have to put every gcc's
plugin in there under different names? And will binutils pick the right one?
I'd suggest to use the tooldir directory for cross-compilers in order to avoid
confusion.
