Never mind, I'll try a toolchain with binutils 2.28.1. > At least that is still supported with buildroot.
You could say that about the toolchain people who decided to change the behaviour in this area that has existed before July 2009, and broke multiple software packages in the process.
What I don't want to do is to change it in some way that breaks existing setups, or that ends up breaking again in the future. This is why I want input _from the toolchain people_ before we try to fix the problem.
That isn't "against each other" - it's a request _for_ toolchain people to be involved in this.
The fact that this thread doesn't involve any toolchain people says a lot about the "working together" aspect. So, please don't try and lump this on me being "un-cooperative".
What I'm saying is talk to the toolchain people and find a solution in conjunction _with_ them that we can be sure will work, rather than guessing at some obscure undocumented method that could end up breaking again.
Remember, _you_ have the problem, _I_ don't. It's not for me to go off and talk to the toolchain people on your behalf.
Thanks.
