Well to be precise, it is the bfd/configure.ac file that ought to contain the code to generate the version.h file. (Since the top level configure.ac file is shared with the gcc project, and that project does not know or care about the bfd/ sub-directory). Also the bfd/configure file needs to be generated by autoconf version 2.69, rather than any later (or earlier) version. Whilst a bit old now the 2.69 version has been used by the gcc, gdb and binutils projects for a long time and it is know to work and do what we want. The official way to regenerate the configure file is to configure a build with the --enable-maintainer-mode option specified: mkdir build <path-to-binutils-sources>/configure --enable-maintainer-mode make all-bfd Building, or rebuilding this version of the binutils will automatically run autoconf and automake and aclocal in the correct way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
