http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=547773 Summary: binutils: make ld/gold an update-alternative Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: jengelh@medozas.de QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Beta-Customer It would be cool if ld/gold could be switchable through update-alternatives, so that one can globally set the default linker. Suggestion to rename /usr/bin/ld to /usr/bin/gld and making ld the u-a switching between gld and gold. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Revisiting this on my behalf, though I need some information: why is it that the gcc package hard-depends (Requires:) on binutils-gold unconditionally? Is there a way to invoke gold through the gcc frontend?
It doesn't for 12.1. It did for 11.4 because of LTO support with -fuse-linker-plugin needs gold (on gold capable targets). For 12.1 we use binutils plugin support. So, no, there is no way to invoke gold through the gcc frontend. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
