contains more detail, if you want to ask more let's do it on the binutils list.
So to answer your question: the gcc language-specific runtime DLLs have to
be built using the patched version of binutils, otherwise they break when they
get rebased; that's why I'm rebuilding the gcc packages - having already
locally rebuilt binutils. This will only be a big issue for anyone who wants
to rebuild gcc from source themselves, the new packages I upload to the distro
will still work for everyone regardless of what binutils they have installed
and/or how or when or where they get rebased.
Except that this issue doesn't affect only libstdc++, but any C++
library which throws exceptions (as I have seen on my system). So we
really do need a patched binutils ASAP.
There is an easy way to identify such libraries ?
Just to know if I need to rebuild some of mines .
