Hi! binutils upstream recently dropped support for a.out and COFF on sparc [1] which now causes GRUB failing to build on sparc64-linux [2]:
if test x0 = x1; then ../grub-macho2img diskboot.image diskboot.img; else objcopy -O binary --strip-unneeded -R .note -R .comment -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .MIPS.abiflags -R .reginfo -R .rel.dyn -R .note.gnu.gold-version -R .ARM.exidx diskboot.image diskboot.img; fi objcopy:boot.img: invalid bfd target make[5]: *** [Makefile:42941: boot.img] Error 1 make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... objcopy:cdboot.img: invalid bfd target make[5]: *** [Makefile:42950: cdboot.img] Error 1 Does anyone know how we can resolve this issue? Can SPARC's OpenFirmware handle ELF files? Aren't COFF or a.out binaries often required by firmware loaders or similar?
