Yes, approximately: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-07/msg00361.html " Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 15:19:05 -0700 Subject: The Linux binutils 2.17.50.0.3 is released Changes from binutils 2.17.50.0.2: ... 16.

I thought about this more, and I guess that we should keep the dependency on the newly introduced by this patch STDBINUTILS option. Perhaps, change it name to, say, STD_ELF_LINKING. Because, in any case, either should we patch binutils, or should we pass some non-default value to the linker: the resulted application doesn't match the ELF standard, and the applications which match the standard simply won't work with the 256K paged kernel - so, a user has to be aware of it before turning the 256K on. What do you think about this? Regards, Yuri _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
