Let me try to clarify. GDB does not need to be built with the updated binutils. The sources used to build GDB need to include the updated binutils sources. Upstream Binutils and GBD share a single Git repository (https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git). GDB uses parts of the Binutils source code. In package builds this may cause trouble if GDB and Binutils are built from separate copies (e.g. SRPMS) of the source code and some updates to Binutils are expected to be carried over to GDB. Such as the IBM z17 instruction support in the Binutils assembler and disassembler. Given GDB uses the Binutils disassembler it requires to be built with the updated Binutils source code to also have the IBM z17 instructions in GBD disassembly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2108997 Title: [SRU] GDB: Internal binutils code requires updates made for IBM z17 in binutils already To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-z-systems/+bug/2108997/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
