binutils-2.29

[bdubbs@…]

New minor version.

[bdubbs@…]

Changes in 2.29:

• The MIPS port now supports microMIPS eXtended Physical Addressing (XPA) instructions for assembly and disassembly.

• The MIPS port now supports the microMIPS Release 5 ISA for assembly and disassembly.

• The MIPS port now supports the Imagination interAptiv MR2 processor, which implements the MIPS32r3 ISA, the MIPS16e2 ASE as well as a couple of implementation-specific regular MIPS and MIPS16e2 ASE instructions.

• The SPARC port now supports the SPARC M8 processor, which implements the Oracle SPARC Architecture 2017.

• The MIPS port now supports the MIPS16e2 ASE for assembly and disassembly.

• Add support for ELF SHF_GNU_MBIND and PT_GNU_MBIND_XXX.

• Add support for the wasm32 ELF conversion of the WebAssembly file format.

• Add --inlines option to objdump, which extends the --line-numbers option so that inlined functions will display their nesting information.

• Add --merge-notes options to objcopy to reduce the size of notes in a binary file by merging and deleting redundant notes.

• Add support for locating separate debug info files using the build-id method, where the separate file has a name based upon the build-id of the original file.

When using development branch in 32 bits.

Looks like they is an issue with binutils 2.29: I did try twice and came to the same result: when compiling glibc in chapter 5:

This patch fix my issue:

​https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-glibc/glibc.git/tree/debian/patches/any/cvs-common-symbols.diff?id=22439f8

Will be needed in chapter 6 as well I guess

[bdubbs@…]

I did a reply to -book instead of the ticket:

Try this: sed -i.orig -e 's/^{\(char \*loc.\)/\1 attribute ((nocommon))/' misc/regexp.c}

Note that the fix is not in binutils, but in glibc. I suppose we could just generate a new version of glibc with the fix. I hope glibc will release anew version soon.

And at ​https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html

"The current development version of glibc 2.26, releasing on or around August 1, 2017."

So we probably should just hold off any updates and wait for that.

[Thierry Nuttens]

Great news about glibc 2.26 as they was a few others patchs.

Looking forward for glibc 2.26 for my next stable version of NuTyX. In means time the patch I found did the job.
