Description Chanho Park 2014-07-17 07:02:11 UTC 
When I tried to build binutils 2.24 using our build system.
Actually, it occurred only arm(armv7l) build system.
Like openSUSE, we use obs build system for arm build.
It's compiled in the qemu environment.

We found below error during generating a many_sections_define.h.
It obviously occurred since 2.23.2.

This is most likely a qemu problem.
Comment 2 Mike Frysinger 2022-02-21 19:21:39 UTC 
prob easy to rewrite with a shell loop, if desired
