Description Jeff Law 2011-10-04 19:12:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
gcc-4.4 in RHEL 5.7 will issue instructions that can not be handled by the assembler available on RHEL 5.7 (see BZ 669190).

A few approaches were investigated to resolve this issue; the final/best resolution is to include an additional version of binutils that will be used by the gcc-4.4 compiler, but which will otherwise be hidden.

This is a formal request to include binutils220 as an approved package for RHEL 5.8 on x86/x86_64 based platforms.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-11 16:08:04 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Ack from me.
