RE: Segmentation Fault using cross architecture ld command

["John Morrison" <JMorrison at printronix dot com>]

Hi Nick.

At ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/snapshots I see what look like a
daily snapshot and daily and weekly accumulation of "patch" files, am I
correct in this?  So instead of trying to pull down each and every
module (extremely prone to error for me) I should pull down, unzip and
"build" the latest snapshot to verify if the problem has gone or still
exists.  Correct?  

Just making sure I understand.  

Thanks

Hi John,

There are no stupid questions ... :-)

Check out the binutils web page:

http://sourceware.org/binutils/

which includes details on how to get the sources.

> / build something from the CVS binutils repository? 

There is a README file at the top level of the sources which covers
this, but it should be very straight forward if you are using a UNIX
type environment:

   mkdir <build>
   cd <build>
   <path-to-sources>/configure --target=[your target]
   make
   [optional: make install]

Cheers
