<title>Re-installation of Binutils</title>

<para>The current version of Binutils in use has a bug that causes strip to
remove necessary information from certain library files.  This patch fixes
the problem:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../binutils-&binutils-version;-fix_strip-1.patch</userinput></screen>

<para>Create a separate build directory again:</para>

<screen><userinput>mkdir ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build</userinput></screen>

<para>Now prepare Binutils for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>../binutils-&binutils-version;/configure --prefix=/tools \
    --enable-shared --with-lib-path=/tools/lib</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<screen><userinput>make -k check</userinput></screen>

<para>Except for a few known failures, the binutils tests should all pass. The
exceptions to this rule are as follows:</para>

<screen><computeroutput>* 5 FAIL (unexpected failure) for visibility
* 1 FAIL for selective4
* 1 FAIL for selective5</computeroutput></screen>

<para>And install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

<para>Now prepare the linker for the <quote>Re-adjusting</quote> phase in the next
chapter:</para>

<screen><userinput>make -C ld clean
make -C ld LIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib</userinput></screen>


<warning><para><emphasis>Do not yet remove</emphasis> the Binutils source and
build directories. You will need these directories again in the next chapter
in the state they are in now.</para></warning>
