i386.mnemonics

[Peter Teoh <htmldeveloper at gmail dot com>]

I downloaded the source at:

https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/0.148/

applied the patches listed, and then configure, make and got the
following errors:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tteikhua/Downloads/elfutils-0.148/libdw'

This is caused by NMNES having numerical value of zero, as derived via
"wc -l i386.mnemonics".

Yes, if I were to go into the libcpu subdirectory:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root     0 2010-08-17 09:19 i386.mnemonics

this file is having zero bytes?

I tried the whole steps again without applying the two patches, and it
got through make and make install successfully, and i386.mnemonics not
having zero bytes.

What is the condition to apply the patches then?

Thanks.

PS:  this ubuntu 10.04 / AMD64.
