rhel6 powerpc binutils patchset
------- Comment on attachment From amodra.com 2012-01-11 17:27 EDT-------
Patches related to toc/plt optimization plus a few others.
May I have an update on this please? We are now mid-way in the Development cycle and I'd like to know if we are still targeting to include this for RHEL 6.3. ------- Comment From hohnbaum.com 2012-02-15 11:03 EDT------- Patches are attached to this bugzilla - were attached Jan 11. Code is accepted upstream. What additional information do you need? Created attachment 564945 [details]
Tarball containing patches packaged in a suitable way to apply to the RHEL 6.3 binutils srpm
The tarball contains the patches supplied by IBM integrated into a single, large patchfile, plus an update to binutils.spec to include the patch in a binutils build.
This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release. As a result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release. While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.

replacement binutils-rh739144,patch
Nick, in looking over binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.32.el6.src.rpm I noticed that a hunk is missing from binutils-rh739144.patch near the start of elf64-ppc.c:ppc64_elf_tls_optimize, probably due to a patch reject. Attached please find a replacement.
Flipping back to ASSIGNED to get the patch reevaluated.

Attached > please find a replacement. Please note that this patch is missing testsuite updates. Alan, please inspect binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6 SRPM once it gets near to you. I'd like IBM to have a look at binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6 SRPM, please. ------- Comment From bergner.com 2012-05-14 15:35 EDT------- I'll ping Alan offline to make sure he has a look at the updated binutils src rpm. ------- Comment From amodra.com 2012-05-15 04:59 EDT------- Michal, I saw your note last week and have been waiting for the source rpm to appear on ftp3.linux.ibm.com. It's still not there. Can I access the rpm somewhere else? ------- Comment From amodra.com 2012-05-20 10:30 EDT------- binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.34.el6.src.rpm looks good to me. Thanks!
