Spec URL: http://bashton.fedorapeople.org/m6812-elf-binutils.spec SRPM URL: http://bashton.fedorapeople.org/m6812-elf-binutils-2.15-1.fc10.src.rpm Description: This is a Cross Compiling version of GNU binutils, which can be used to assemble and link binaries for the m68hc12 platform, instead of for the native platform. Patch 1 will not be submitted upstream as upstream already fixes it in later versions. The later version is not being used as the cross compiler patch set may not be compatible. rpmlint is clean except for: m6812-elf-binutils.i386: W: non-standard-dir-in-usr m6812-elf which is ok for cross compilers

please hold off reviewing this as the gcc part that needs this may need to use a newer version, due to a gcc 4 incompatibility with building gcc 3 and the crosscompiler upstream work being done on gcc 3
Are you sure you want to ship something such kind of outdated as binutils-2.15? To my knowledge (I have never used it), the m6812 is actively maintained in upstream binutils and supported "out of the box" in current version of binutils (2.19).
my understanding is they have kind of a strange development cycle. You have gcc/binuilts upstream that is doing there work, and then you have another GNU project that works on it as well. They have a fairly large patch set, but are maintaining it for the gcc 3.3.5 and binutils, these included new test cases and some things that they call "stability fixed" what ever that means. These are slowly pulled into upstream. I want to look into this more and do some real hardware tests before someone spends the time to review this package.

Yes, I have seen people using the 4.3 gcc, so I am working on building that right now. I will do some tests on actual hardware to verify. That other project has gone though states of being maintained and not it looks like, and many of the important links are broken. Right now I am having issues with getting gcc to compile, there has been some change in the Fedora gcc, and it has broken even the "good" avr-gcc package building.
Well, it's been eight months; has there been any progress?
Given nearly four months of silence, I'm going to assume that's a big no and close this out.
