Remove the timestamped line from gengtype state file comment headers. Gcc builds after r177358 include a file .../plugin/gtype.state as part of their binary installation. The file contains a comment line that includes the current date and time. Variations in the file contents due to only changes in the timestamp can be an issue for build and packaging systems that prefer or insist on binary compatibility.
This patch removes the comment line, to provide binary reproducibility for any generated gtype.state files. Tested for x86 and PowerPC, no bootstrap in both cases. OK for google/integration? Also, OK for trunk? libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: 2011-05-20 Simon Baldwin <sim...@google.com> * scripts/extract_symvers.in: Handle processor/OS specific or unknown symbol binding strings from readelf.
