Hi,
I am having problems with this issue when I try do a release build.
When I try to build, I get an error which suggests that I need to
upgrade:
$ make BUILDTYPE=Release
LINK(target) out/Release/xdisplaycheck
/usr/bin/ld: --gc-sections: unknown option
/usr/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [out/Release/xdisplaycheck] Error 1
However, I already ran install-build-deps.sh and my copy of gold is
new enough:
$ /path/to/gold --gc-sections
bash: /path/to/gold: No such file or directory
I am getting both error messages. Does anyone have any suggestions
how to get this to compile?
Here is my ld version:
$ ld -v
GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.19.1) 1.7
With thanks,
Brian
