binutils 2.26-4 broken?

oxyopy · 2016-05-30 22:06:43

It seems like something changed in the past couple of weeks.
Probably me somehow, but...

% pacman -Q gcc
gcc 6.1.1-1
% pacman -Q gcc-libs
gcc-libs 6.1.1-1
% pacman -Q binutils
binutils 2.26-4
% echo boing > x
% rm -f x.a
% ar crv x.a x
a - x
: CommandLine Error: Option '' registered more than once!
LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options

I ran across this while attempting to cross-compile binutils
2.26.

env vars:
COLORTERM DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DESKTOP_SESSION DISPLAY GLADE_CATALOG_PATH GLADE_MODULE_PATH GLADE_PIXMAP_PATH GTK_MODULES HG HOME LANG LC_ALL LESS LOGNAME MAIL MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH PATH PWD SESSION_MANAGER SHELL SHLVL SSH_AGENT_PID SSH_AUTH_SOCK TERM USER WINDOWID WINDOWPATH XDG_CONFIG_DIRS XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP XDG_DATA_DIRS XDG_MENU_PREFIX XDG_RUNTIME_DIR XDG_SEAT XDG_SESSION_ID XDG_VTNR _

LANG and LC_ALL are set to C.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

And how did you do this? Did you end up installing a cross-compiled binary to your system?

What's the output of `pacman -Qkk binutils`?

hahahahhahaha!! ! ! !!!

no

not a n00b here

in order to install a cross compiled binutils, i would
first have to be able to BUILD binutils, which seems
to involve building some libraries. which i cannot do

if anyone is running arch-latest and can do

echo xyzzy > z
rm -f x.a
ar crv x.a x

successfully, then i need to take a closer look at my
system; otherwise, i think something goofed in the
binutils build ??!?

% pacman -Q binutils
binutils 2.26-4
% pacman -Qkk binutils
binutils: 305 total files, 0 altered files

Thanks!

Are you on x86_64 no multilib and binutils 2.26-4?

x86_64 with mutilib enabled, but not the multilib versions of anything important. Up to date with Testing.

I'm not so sure about that. But if sarcasm and dismissal is how you react to attempted help, I will no longer attempt.

If you are such an expert, please follow our forum guidelines on posting commands and code.

Wow

__relax__ !!

I have no intent to offend you or anyone else.

Had I installed cross-compiled binaries on
my box, I would not have been able to
paste (with correct formatting or otherwise)
the output of those commands. The error
message would have been entirely different.
I know this because I have done this
before.
