I tried to compile avidemux-2.4-r3791 in x86 branch for my linux distribution paldo. In x86_64 all went ok but in x86 I got this error message: [code]libADM_library.a ./ADM_colorspace/libADM_colorspace.a ./ADM_osSupport/libADM_ossupport.a ./ADM_libraries/ADM_libswscale/libswscale.a -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lfreetype -lz -L/usr/lib -lxml2 -lz -lm -lglib-2.0 -lXv -lfontconfig -lmp3lame -lvorbis -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -lfaac -lfaad -lasound -lpng -lxvidcore -lxvidcore -lamrnb -lx264 -laften /usr/bin/ld: size of bfd_vma > size of splay_tree types /usr/bin/ld: BFD (Linux/GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.0.4.20080208 internal error, aborting at ../../binutils-2.18.50.0.4/bfd/arange-set.c line 202 in arange_set_new /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [avidemux2_cli] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/avidemux-2.4-r3791/avidemux' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/avidemux-2.4-r3791/avidemux' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/avidemux-2.4-r3791' make: *** [all] Error 2 *** Error: make[/code] The full logs you can read here: http://paldo.org/~amnon/logs/avidemux-x86-glibc-2.6-gcc-4.2-1-2.4-r3791-1.log http://paldo.org/~amnon/logs/avidemux-x86_64-glibc-2.6-gcc-4.2-1-2.4-r3791-4.log.bz2 With version binutils-2.18.50.0.2 it is also ok in x86.
On powerpc it is fixed I assume: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2008-02/msg00021.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-binutils/2008-02/msg00022.html ... hope on i686-pc-linux-gnu also soon.

It is i686-pc-linux-gnu and not powerpc !!! So it is a new bug, or same bug in a different arch.
So the bug was solved after all. I compiled the snapshot of binutils of today (ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/snapshots/binutils-2.18.50.tar.bz2) and recompiled avidemux with it. It worked.
