This is the beta release of binutils 2.6.0.13 for Linux, which is
based on the binutils snapshot, gas-960408. It is a Linux only release.
This release is only intended for an ELF based system. You also
need libc 5.3.9 and gcc 2.7.2 or above.
Some changes from 2.6.0.12 are:
1. Now the linker will consult /etc/ld.so.cache again for shared
libraries included by DT_NEEDED. -Wl,-rpath-link is no longer
needed if you compile on Linux for Linux.
2. The objdump core dump bug is fixe.
I also include the cross assembler and cross linker binaries for
SunOS and Solaris under Sparc, m68k/ELF and m68k/linuxaout as well
as alpha running Linux. But you have to configure your cross
compiler with
# configure --prefix=/usr --local-prefix=/usr/local \
--gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
--host=i486-linux --target=sparc-sun-sunos4.1
for Sparc/SunOS, or
# configure --prefix=/usr --local-prefix=/usr/local \
--gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
--host=i486-linux --target=sparc-sun-solaris2
for Sparc/Solaris, or
# configure --prefix=/usr --local-prefix=/usr/local \
--gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
--host=i486-linux --target=m68k-linux
for m68k/ELF, or
# configure --prefix=/usr --local-prefix=/usr/local \
--gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
--host=i486-linux --target=m68k-linuxaout
for m68k/a.out, or
# configure --prefix=/usr --local-prefix=/usr/local \
--gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ \
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as \
--host=i486-linux --target=alpha-linux
for alpha/Linux to use the cross assembler and linker binaries
without any changes.
This release contains "encaps" and a modified "objdump" by Ross. They
are used to compile the Linux kernel in ELF.
The primary ftp sites for the compiler/C library are tsx-11.mit.edu
under pub/linux/packages/GCC and sunsite.unc.edu under pub/Linux/GCC.
The beta directory is in private/tofu under the GCC directory.
To install this package, please follow the procedure very closely.
Please backup/save all the files you are instructed to delete and you
should do
gzip -dc binutils-2.6.0.13.bin.tar.gz | tar tvvf -
to see what is in there.
The binary file is binutils-2.6.0.13.bin.tar.gz. The source code is
binutils-2.6.0.13.tar.gz. A diff against 2.6 is too big to be
included. binutils-2.6.0.12-2.6.0.13.diff.gz is provided for binutils
2.6.0.12.
Please do back up before you remove things.
To install, PLEASE DO
1. su root
2. cd /
3. gzip -dc binutils-2.6.0.13.bin.tar.gz | tar xvvf -
Now you have the new gas/binutils under /usr/bin and
/usr/i486-linuxaout/bin. You have to do
/usr/i486-linuxaout/bin/as
and
/usr/i486-linuxaout/bin/ld -m i386linux
if you want to use a.out as and ld directly.
If you don't need the cross assemblers/linkers for m68k-linux,
m68k-linuxaout, sparc-sun-solaris2, sparc-sun-sunos4.1 nor alpha-linux,
please do
1. su root
2. cd /usr
3. rm -rf m68k-linux m68k-linuxaout sparc-sun-solaris2 sparc-sun-sunos4.1 alpha-linux
Thanks.
