Diffs?

In this file is the line : : #define BFD_HOST_64BIT_LONG 1 : : i.e. It is saying that a (native) alpha compiler has 64-bit registers. By : changing this line to : : #define BFD_HOST_64BIT_LONG 0 : : the cross-compilation from the x86 architecture passes binutils without any : warnings. OK. Should be a better way of doing that than editing the source. : Note that I've cut gdb out of the build (no need to track down bugs : :-). There could still be problems in the compile there. Yes. In the cross compile case, we shouldn't be building gdb here anyway. Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
