A toolchain frissítéseként, Matthew Green importálta a legújabb verziójú GNU binutils-t (2.13.2.1) a NetBSD -current-be. Az új binutils támogatást ad a hppa és a x86_64 platformokhoz, javított támogatást ad a jelenleg támogatott architektúrákhoz, és tudottan müködik az összes olyan CPU-val, amelyet a NetBSD jelenleg támogat. A gdb és a gcc frissítése következik majd.

hi folks.
i've gotten new binutils working on all currently supported platforms that build. this means:
sparc, sparc64, arm, mips, i386, powerpc, m68k, vax & alpha.
i have made m68000 (sun2) and sh3le/sh3be build the new bits, but due to other issues (pthreads) they don't build at all currently so i have not tested they work. then again, we've probably never had a binutils updated where 9 platforms were tested first :) new binutils also will bring in support for hppa & x86_64...
so, the plan is to import it real soon now (maybe my tonight even) and merge shortly afterwards. the tree may break for a little while...
other issues:
- this bumps libbfd's major number, which means gdb will need to be recompiled. my simple testing shows that gdb still mostly works (however, eg, sh3 won't), but may generate warnings due to using old BFD functions. this will be fixed when ...
- GDB update comes next. i'm going to need help on this one as i'm least familiar with GDB out of all the toolchain parts...
