somebody on 32-bit x86 Debian Linux couldn't compile Sage due to an
outdated assembler not supporting the rep ret instruction which our
GCC-4.9.2 generates.
According to
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob_plain;f=gas/NEWS;hb=refs/tags/binutils-2_24
one requires GNU assembler version 2.23 which isn't even in Debian unstable.
both Debian unstable and testing ship binutils version 2.24.
Do you mean to say they package old gas there?
Certainly they don't do this; on jessie they ship
GNU assembler version 2.24.90
What should we do about this? Just document it? Ship our own version of
binutils?
I'd say just document; after all installing a newer binutils should not
be a problem on Debian, and it's for old hardware + one particular OS
flavour.
