I use binutils 2.9.1 to link a gcc-compiled program (2.95.1) to the
optimised libm routines provided by Sun (Workshop 5.0).
This works fine if I use the libm for the v8 architecture, but linking to
routines for the v9 gives "File format not recognized".
Is there a workaround for this problem, other than going back to Sun ld?
I doubt it. I am curious to hear whether a development snapshot would
work better. The 64-bit SPARC ELF support has been considerably
improved.
On a related note, will there be a new binutils release in the near future?
You can't use 2.9.1 in combination with gcc 2.95.1's
option -mcpu=ultrasparc, and I don't feel too comfortable about using
possibly unstable snapshots.
I'm afraid there are no immediate plans for a binutils release. We do
know that one is needed, but I have to finish integrating patch, and
we have to find the time.
