This is the last version that was released under GPLv2. I created a branch from head, into: svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/binutils-2.17 where all this work has been integrated. It has been last synchronized with head at r215318, and can be built in exactly the same way as normal head. Obviously, changing binutils influences almost all executable, object and library files in base. I have several amd64 and i386 test machines running without issues, and confirmation from people that arm, powerpc, sparc64 etc also work. I have also built all ports that I normally use during daily work, on both amd64 and i386, and I have seen no issues at all. So now I want to request an exp-run using a world (and optionally kernel) built from this project branch, to see if there any ports that suffer from updated binutils. For example, the version numbers that as, ld, and so on report are now changed to 2.17.50, and most of the binutils programs have gained a few, or even many, new features. This might trip up configure scripts, or other assumptions. Instructions are roughly: svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/projects/binutils-2.17 make -C binutils-2.17 buildworld buildkernel installkernel [reboot] make -C binutils-2.17 installworld [reboot] [update ports tree] [rebuild all ports] >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
