------- Comment #13 from mmitchel at gcc dot gnu dot org 2010-02-17 17:15 -------
I reluctantly agree with Ian's comment in:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2010-01/msg00332.html
that:
"I think it would be troubling if a gcc release required a very new
binutils release on a popular platform like x86_64."
I actually think we should be unsympathetic to this kind of mixing of
components. GCC is the only major compiler that does not consider the
compiler, assembler, and linker to be a "single unit". We've made the problem
harder for ourselves than it needs to be, for the dubious benefit that users
can download a new GCC release without having to get a new assembler and
linker.
However, even though I think our policy is counterproductive, it is in fact our
policy. We shouldn't change the policy by accident; we should change it
through conscious decision. Until then, we should indeed to as Ian suggests
and:
"modify
the configure test for gcc_cv_as_cfi_directive to avoid the problem
when using an older binutils"
