Hello CRUX maintainers,
Hello again,
our last CRUX release is nearly a half year ago, so I thought it might be a good idea to think about a new one. Moreover, there are new major releases of all parts of our standard toolchain.
To initiate the whole thing I've created updated ports of those stuff, all of them available from my private httpup-repo [1] for now:
- gcc 4.2.1 - glibc 2.6.1 with kernel headers 2.6.22
- binutils 2.18.50
By mistake I took a cvs-snapshot version of binutils, not what we want for our new release? Apologize for that. The official release is still 2.17, but there is a newer one available at kernel.org [3], it's a 2.17+cvs and additional patches maintained by some RedHat people. Unfortunately they have removed all docs, generated with texinfo, from the tarball, so texinfo is a build-time dependency. A patch might be possible, but not a trivial one, if we want the man-pages. And, more important, I got a configure error from glibc with that version of binutils. I'd tend to stick with the official 2.17, updated binaries are available at [2].
