[Axiom-developer] Axiom cvs 2004-10-31 (gcl-2.6.5) gcc/binutils dependency?

[Magnus Larsson]

Hello Axiom-developer,

FYI,

Building Axiom cvs 2004-10-31 using:

gcc-3.4.2 + binutils 2.15.92.0.2 (beta) or
gcc-3.3.1 + binutils 2.15.92.0.2 (beta)
 
fails with a reference to "_raw_size" while making gcl-2.6.5:
...
gcc -c -Wall -DVOL=volatile -fsigned-char -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer  
-I/home/magnus/usr/source/axiom/axiom-test/lsp/gcl-2.6.5/o -I../h -I../gcl-tk

I managed to build Axiom cvs 2004-10-31 using 
gcc-3.3.1 and binutils 2.15.90.0.3 20040415.

Downgrading to binutils 2.15.90.0.3 20040415 allowed sfaslbfd.c to pick up a 
bfd.h with "_raw_size" defined. The more recent binutils 2.15.92.0.2 (beta) 
uses "rawsize" instead.
