Binutils¶

to use Gold linker (first released in binutils version 2.19), should to avoid link-error https://mirror.yongbok.net/gnu/binutils/?C=M&O=D There are three linkers available on modern GNU/Linux systems:

- ld, maintained by GNU binutils,
- gold, maintained by GNU binutils, "still in beta test",
- lld, developed as part of the LLVM project.

For speed benchmarks, see: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=lld4-linux-tests&num=2 TL, DR: lld is fastest, followed by gold, followed by ld check binutils version: ld -v

Note

do not use # in folder name

Tachyon - Centos 6.9¶

binutils-2.40 require to install:
- texinfo
- bison
- need new GCC

cd /home1/p001cao/0SourceCode/tooldev
wget -c --no-check-certificate https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.40.tar.gz
tar zxvf binutils-2.40.tar.gz

cd binutils-2.40
rm -rf build && mkdir build  &&  cd build

export PATH=/home2/app/compiler/gcc/9.5.0/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home1/p001cao/app/tooldev/texinfo-7.0.3/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/home1/p001cao/app/tooldev/bison-3.8.2/bin:$PATH       # add custom ver before system's version

../configure --enable-gold=yes --enable-ld=default --enable-lto \
    --enable-plugins --enable-shared --disable-werror  \
    --enable-64-bit-bfd --with-system-zlib \
    --prefix=/home1/p001cao/app/tooldev/binutils-2.40

make -j 16  && make install

check: ld -v # --enable-gprofng=no

UCS1:¶

work with binutils-2.36.1, to avoid error in GCC-11

tar zxvf binutils-2.36.1.tar.gz
cd binutils-2.36.1
mkdir build  &&  cd build

../configure --enable-gold=yes --enable-ld=default --enable-lto \
--enable-plugins --enable-shared --disable-werror \
--enable-64-bit-bfd --with-system-zlib \
--prefix=/uhome/p001cao/app/tool_dev/binutils-2.36

create module file¶

cd /uhome/p001cao/local/Imodfiles → create file "cmake-3.20.3"

# for Tcl script use only
set     topdir          /home1/p001cao/app/tool_dev/binutils-2.37

prepend-path    PATH                    $topdir/bin
prepend-path    LD_LIBRARY_PATH         $topdir/lib
prepend-path    INCLUDE             $topdir/include

texinfo¶

cd /home1/p001cao/0SourceCode/tooldev
wget -c --no-check-certificate https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/texinfo-7.0.3.tar.gz
tar zxvf  texinfo-7.0.3.tar.gz
cd texinfo-7.0.3

./configure --prefix=/home1/p001cao/app/tooldev/texinfo-7.0.3
make -j 16 && make install

bison¶

wget -c --no-check-certificate https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bison/bison-3.8.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf  bison-3.8.2.tar.gz
cd bison-3.8.2

./configure --prefix=/home1/p001cao/app/tooldev/bison-3.8.2
make -j 16 && make install
