Hi,

Brent from IBM did the powerpc port of the fix and installed it on gcc110, could you tell us if it fixes your issue?

Thanks in advance,

LAurent

The Free Pazscal cycles for powerpc64 target fails to compelte
after system upgrade.

Acccording to Jonas Maebe, this is probably due to issues with recent binutils linker.

Jonas filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906273

gcc1-powerpc7 has been upgraded,
but the new Binutils seem to have problems with our compiler:

Note that ppc1 is compiled with 2.6.0 ppcppc64 compiler here.
if I use current trunk 2.7.1 ppcppc64, I already get the error
when linking ppc1.

It seems like we are doing things recent GNU ld doesn't like...
The problem is that I have no idea what .opd is :(
So don't count on me to solve that problem...
