It would seem that there's a problem with Binutils. I basically have the same OS and gcc but with different hardware. However I have
$ ld -v GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.22 and the linking is good. I had some other hiccups, mainly with cvxopt, when building 6.1.1 but eventually the build completed. I'm not sure why there is a difference in Binutils? On Friday, February 7, 2014 10:13:34 AM UTC-6, sho...@ualberta.ca wrote: > > Well I did build it successfully once.
