The former is only in main while LLVM_BINUTILS is also in stable/15. The changes to support LLVM_BINUTILS BOOTSTRAP were missing from the original LLVM_BINUTILS work; it was not intentional that we continued to use ELF Tool Chain tools for the bootstrap. We discovered this because another tool (i.e., libabigail) failed when the standalone debug files _lacked_ program headers, and I believe this is the expected state in the GNU tool / Linux distro world. I presume Valgrind on Linux handles this somehow?home | help
