Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|WAITING |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #6 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- checking for as... no checking for powerpc-freebsd13-as... no So the answer to my question of did you compile binutils first is no and you are not doing a combined build either: checking where to find the target as... pre-installed So this is not a bug that needs to be fixed really.
