After installing binutils-2.18.50.0.4, glibc-2.7-r1 failed with the folowing:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:39: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `fnstsw'
make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1/work/build-default-i686-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/math/ftestexcept.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1/work/glibc-2.7/math'
make[1]: *** [math/others] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1/work/glibc-2.7'
make: *** [all] Error 2
*
* ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.7-r1 failed.
Googling I found this:
http://www.nabble.com/The-Linux-binutils-2.18.50.0.4-is-released-td15360254.html
Where the above problem appears to be related to this from the article:
Quote: | Starting from the 2.18.50.0.4 release, the x86 assembler no longer
accepts
fnstsw %eax
fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax and the upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
Please use
fnstsw %ax |
Are we filling bug reports on these interim binutils releases or just let it slide till it gets picked up as there is enough to do already? |

Has this issue been resolved with binutils-2.18.50.0.5? |

It's bug in glibc, not binutils. |

I know it is but it is it was only noticed with the changed behaviour of binutils. The behaviour may have changed again. |
