Hey all, Did a fresh install of the 9.2 FTP version and came across a kernel recompile error. ld: BFD 2.15.91.0.2 20040727 (SuSE Linux) assertion fail ../../bfd/linker.c:619 Apparently the same sort of error popped up with Fedora Core x86-64, an update of bin-utils took care of it for Fedora Core. Has anyone found the same error in their 9.2 kernel recompiles? I'm compiling an more recent bin-utils from src to see if that will correct the assetion problem.
