This is the beta release of binutils 2.7.0.1 for Linux, which is
|
|
based on binutils 2.7. You also need libc 5.4.4 and gcc 2.7.2 or above.
|
|
|
|
Main changes from binutils 2.7 are:
|
|
|
|
1. encaps and objdump changes are added for linux kernels. They
|
|
may not be necessary for newer kernels. But they are needed
|
|
for older ones.
|
|
2. A weak/global change is made to work around a gcc bug.
|
|
|
|
I also include the cross assembler and cross linker binaries for
|
|
SunOS and Solaris under Sparc, m68k/ELF and m68k/linuxaout.
|
|
To use the cross assembler and linker binaries without any changes,
|
|
you have to configure your cross compiler with
|
|
|
|
a. Sparc/SunOS:
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
b. Sparc/Solaris:
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
c. m68k/ELF:
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
d. m68k/a.out:
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
|
|
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-2.7.0.1.bin.tar.gz | tar tvvf -
|
|
|
|
to see what is in there.
|
|
|
|
The binary file is binutils-2.7.0.1.bin.tar.gz. The source code is
|
|
binutils-2.7.0.1.tar.gz. binutils-2.7-2.7.0.1.diff.gz is provided for
|
|
binutils 2.7.0.1.
|
|
|
|
Please do back up before you remove things.
|
|
|
|
To install, PLEASE DO
|
|
|
|
1. su root
|
|
2. cd /
|
|
3. gzip -dc binutils-2.7.0.1.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 nor sparc-sun-sunos4.1, please
|
|
do
|
|
|
|
1. su root
|
|
2. cd /usr
|
|
3. rm -rf m68k-linux m68k-linuxaout sparc-sun-solaris2 sparc-sun-sunos4.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
