binutils-2.17

Prime95 · 2007-04-11, 01:04

Can someone with 64-bit linux try binutils-2.17 to see if it understands 64-bit COFF object files?

Download binutils-2.17
./configure --enable-targets=all
make

make install should be harmless, but if paranoid I guess you could go to the bin directory and run ./objdump xmult2.obj (which you can download from ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/xmult2.obj)

Did objdump recognize the object file format?

I'll try. I'm compiling binutils atm.

Doesn't look good:

Code:

kruppaal@cookie.loria.fr:~ > objdump -i | grep -i coff | grep 64
aix5coff64-rs6000
aixcoff64-rs6000
               elf64-x86-64 a.out.adobe aix5coff64-rs6000 a.out-zero-big

Dang, the post at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutil.../msg00048.html got my hopes up.

akruppa · 2007-04-11, 13:35

The binutil 2.17 release is from 23. June 2006, so it predates the posting. Maybe the CVS version can do it. The last couple of releases were each about one year apart, so the next release might appear this summer.

On further investigation, can you try ftp://sourceware.org/pub/binutils/sn...070315.tar.bz2

It has the file bfd/coff_x86_64.c!!

It is a development version, I wouldn't install this one!

I was fooled by the dates at the FTP download site:

This looks much better!

Thanks for the testing (and the offer). It looks like I need to select one of my PCs, wipe it clean and install 64-bit linux on it. The Opteron that the forum members purchased isn't doing much, it will be the victim.

I'm thinking of Debian linux (never tried that one) unless someone can give me a good reason not to.
