Hi Jakub
(cc'ing lists of affected packages)
The latest FSF binutils-2.13.2.1 release is being mis-detected by gcc's
configure script.
checking assembler hidden support... no
when of course it should be:-
checking assembler hidden support... yes
It is possibly due to the extra digit on the end of the binutils version
string causing the grief. ie: binutils-2.13.2 does not suffer the same
problem.
The result of this mis-detetcion is broken __cxa_atexit support in glibc as
evidenced by failure of glibc's "make check"
I believe your patch from here:-
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-05/msg01798.html
is related to this bug. Any chance you could revisit this?
Meanwhile, I'll open a gcc PR, once I've confirmed the problem is still
there on the gcc mainline.
Thanks
Greg
