Hello Yufeng,

it seems that the patch 3/6 fails with the latest binutils
(http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.22.tar.gz):

user@linux:~/armv8/binutils$ patch -p 1 --dry-run < patch/aarch64_3_6_v2.patch

creates the following error messages:

Hunk #1 FAILED at 461.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 484 (offset -21 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 565 (offset -26 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file bfd/archures.c.rej

Hunk #1 succeeded at 813 (offset -19 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 841.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file bfd/configure.in.rej

Hunk #1 succeeded at 5619 (offset -265 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 6022 with fuzz 1 (offset -293 lines).
Hunk #3 FAILED at 6507.

Which binutils version have you used to create the patch? Maybe 2.22 isn't the
right one for this patch.

Thank you very much
regards
