Correct. BUT only after the fix was committed to the FSF/GNU Binutils 2.10 release branch (for 2.10.1). > Now on the 26th you're writing a message that indicates you are > unwilling to have any modification from binutils 2.10, even if it > fixes a bug. Someone seems to have recycled an old message. I did reply and cleared up why there was a delay in fixing the problem -- that being in contrib software we need to get the vendor to also accept the fix. > Can I rely on the previously applied patch to stay in -STABLE, Definately. > or alternately for binutils or gdb to be updated appropriately such > that debugging works cleanly, without additional source tree patches? The same fix was applied to the FSF/GNU Bintuils 2.10 releaes branch, so the same fix in the exactly same form will be in binutils 2.10.1.
