The binutils on 10.0 has a bug, it doesn't work well when using gcc 3.3.x or 3.4.x
When using the latest binutils (2.16.1, compiled from source) it works, but when using the binutils
package shipped with SL 10.0 (2.16.91.0.2-8), I get the following when building shared libs:
`.L631' referenced in section `.rodata' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os:
defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._Z17otl_var_type_namei' of

etc.. etc...
I've been googling on that, and it definately seems to be a binutils bug.
The gcc src.rpm shipped with SL 10.0 includes some patches, one of which might be a workaround for
that binutils issue, but I cannot apply it to 3.4.x (and I definately need 3.4.x in this case).
Now, with that background and while you're already replying "this is off-topic" ;)), I wanted to ask
if anyone was already providing newer binutils packages in his repository ?
I'll file a bug for this anyway but I'll most probably try to isolate a backport patch for this very
issue.
cheers
