Binutils version? about build-djgpp HOT 8 CLOSED

As we speak, the binutils for DJGPP package v2.26 still have to be released. You might be able to build using BINUTILS_VERSION=225 though.

No special reason. Because 2.24 worked in the past, so I am still using 2.24 now. 😛

@neta79 It's on Delorie's ftp already, that's where I got it from -> ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bnu226sr3.zip

Besides, is there any difference between the djgpp release and "official" GNU release for binutils?

@andrewwutw Still it seems like a good idea to stay on the latest version. What if newer gcc versions depend on some changes in binutils? (I don't know if that ever happens though)

@jwt27 Ok, for newer DJGPP versions in the future, I will use latest version binutils. 😄

How can I build djgpp with 2.27 binutils? I really need it to test some issues.

@pohmelie Yes, I tested and also encountered the same problem : undefined reference to `coff_64k_relocation_enabled' (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.os.msdos.djgpp/mUOzbTpE1Sk/ODqAENwlAgAJ)

I tried to patch binutils 2.27 bfd/init.c, and it seems to work. I create a branch "support-binutils-2.27" for this : https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/tree/support-binutils-2.27

You can pull this branch, and build GCC 6.3.0 by running

./build-djgpp.sh 6.3.0

Please check if it works.
