Hi Michal, Hi David

which version of binutils and gcc you are currently using for embedded Linux development? Just now I've played a little bit with the new one I've found in the Xilinx git repository on:

git://git.xilinx.com/microblaze-gnu.git

Unfortunately both the binaries and the sources seems to be buggy. When I try to compile U-Boot with it the final linker stage runs into a SIGSEGV -- here is the (reduced) output:

UNDEF_SYM=`microblaze-unknown-linux-gnu-objdump -x board/xilinx/microblaze-generic/libmicroblaze-generic.o api/libapi.o arch/microblaze/cpu/libmicroblaze.o arch/microblaze/lib/libmicroblaze.o **/*.o | sed -n -e 's/.*(__u_boot_cmd_.*)/-u\1/p'|sort|uniq`; cd /store/devel/MICROBLAZE/u-boot-mbref && microblaze-unknown-linux-gnu-ld.bfd -T u-boot.lds -Bstatic -Ttext 0x29000000 $UNDEF_SYM arch/microblaze/cpu/start.o --start-group api/libapi.o arch/microblaze/cpu/libmicroblaze.o arch/microblaze/lib/libmicroblaze.o **/*.o board/xilinx/microblaze-generic/libmicroblaze-generic.o --end-group -L /opt/tools-4.6.2-mb-xilinx-v3.0/microblaze-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/microblaze-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.2 -lgcc -Map u-boot.map -o u-boot

@David: This error can be reproduced with the binaries in Xilinx git repo. Have you any idea?

@Michal: which version did you use currently?

@all: Is there anybody who can give me a hint how I can / should handle this error?
