Re: as-2.9.1: unrecognized option '-Qy' with gcc 2.95.1 with binutils 2.9.1
Hi Kai!
config.guess of binutils 2.9.1 could not guess the type but config.guess of
gcc 2.95.1 could. This is the reason why I used this string for building the
binutils - it is "i686-UnixWare7.1.0-sysv5".
"as" 2.9.1 does not know the parameter -Q (it is not listed in --help).
We have binutils 2.8.1 that were built for "i386-sco-sysv4" on this Unixware
7 machine - and they understand -Qy. We had problems with this version and
therefore want to go to 2.9.1. I simply do not know if the i386-sco-sysv4 is
supposed to work on Unixware 7.
Does this ring a bell?
Thank you very much for locating the problem in the binutils and not in the
way, gcc is configured.
