Hi,
we received the following bug report about problems with binutils.
Should we demand newer binutils? Is this really a bug - and how can
we check for recent enough binutils?
Will the following work for configure? And is a test for 2.10.1 or
newer sufficient?
AC_CHECK_PROG_VER(AS, $AS, --version,
[GNU assembler.* \([0-9]*\.[0-9.]*\)],
[2.10.[1-9]* | 2.1[1-9]*], AS=: critic_missing=t)

>Description:
Installing glibc 2.2.1 on a system where previously 2.1.3 had been installed,
produced a few (e.g symctl@@GLIBC2.0) missing symbols when linking to some
libraries compiled before the install.
Upgrading to the latest (2.10.1.0.4) version of binutils fixed it,
but the required version is 2.9.1.0.16 or later (according to INSTALL)
whereas I had 2.9.5.0.8 installed.
As a side note, the BUGS file mentions an "easy to use WWW interface"
at http://www-gnats.gnu.org:8080/cgi-bin/wwwgnats.pl,
but all that gives is a login screen with no comments so I haven't
a clue how to use it.
