Hi,
I wish to upgrade gcc2.95.3 to gcc3.2
I configured the new version with the standard options ( ./configure
--prefix=/home/ramya/local_3.2 )
# Compiler information:
g++ -v
/home/ramya/local_3.2/bin/g++ -v
Reading specs from
/home/ramya/local_3.2/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
Configured with: ./configure --prefix=/home/ramya/local_3.2
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2
ld -v
GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8)
ar -V
GNU ar 2.11.90.0.8

The compilation was successfull. But it is failing during linking, by
giving the following error message.
/cm4/tools/GNU/Linux_2.4.7-10/bin/ld: Dwarf Error: Invalid or unhandled
FORM value: 14.
In the below link,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-02/msg00965.html
I have read that we need the newer version of binutils. It says,
FORM 14 is DW_FORM_strp, recently added to GCC. You need a newer binutils.
As for as I know binutils is a collection of utilities which has their
own versions.
Are they mentioning about the utilities(ld,ar,as) version , or it is
something else.
Can you please clarify me on the same.
Thanks,
Ramya.
