Hi, Thank you Chris. Thanks for your reply. I now understand a bit more about why we need Binutils Pass 1 and Pass 2.
However, I still prefer using Binutils 2.23.1, does that mean I'll have to create my own patch for Binutils-2.23.1?? Are you planning to afford the patches to all newest needed packages? Thanks again. Merry Christmas ^_^ Pei On Tue, Dec 18, 2012 at 5:04 AM, Chris Staub <ch...@beaker67.com> wrote: > On 12/18/2012 07:51 AM, JIA Pei wrote: > > > > Hi, Simon: > > > > The reason why I'm doing that (use binutils-2.23.1 instead of > > binutils-2.22) is I don't want to 100% strictly follow LFS book, so that > > I might be able to understand how to build my own Linux deeper. > > > > And, even now, I've got no idea why we need to patch binutils ?? > > Because without patching binutils, I'm still able to pass BinUtils Pass > > 1.... > > The book itself quite clearly explains what the patch does.
