The following reply was made to PR ports/130715; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Alexander Best <alexbestms@math.uni-muenster.de> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Pegasus McCleaft <ken@mthelicon.com> Subject: Re: ports/130715: New Port:devel/binutils-2.19 Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:53:56 +0100 (CET) compiling and installing the port works fine for me. the only problem i'm having is that i can't convince gcc to use the updated version of `as` (gas). gcc seems to be using /usr/bin as a hardcoded path to look for as `as`. only if gcc doesn't find the executable in that directory it looks for it in the places specified in $PATH. in my case $PATH is set to: /sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/include and typing `as --version` tells me that the executable run is version 2.19. yet gcc stil uses the version in /usr/bin (2.15). i don't know if this is just the case with `as` or with all the binutils binaries. the only solution i've found so far is to rename /usr/bin/as to something else so gcc cannot find it and searches for `as` in $PATH. cheers. alex
