[07:11] <fabbione> doko: what have you done? :)
[07:12] <fabbione> checking for as... as
[07:12] <fabbione> checking version of as... v. ?.??, bad
[07:12] <fabbione> checking for ld... ld
[07:12] <fabbione> checking version of ld... v. ?.??, bad
[07:33] <fabbione> doko: the version in ld/as did change from X.Y.Z to XYZ
[07:33] <fabbione> is that change permanent?
[07:33] <fabbione> or just a build error our side?
[08:48] <doko> fabbione: it's an unmodified snapshot build. apparently the glibc version detection goes wrong
[09:23] <fabbione> doko: glibc expects a release.. not a cvs snapshot
[09:24] <fabbione> doko: do you want to fix the binutils version or should i get crazy to fix the glibc detection?
[09:25] <doko> yes, seeing that now. wondering how this did work with previous snapshots ... I'll fake a version 2.17.50.something
[09:25] <fabbione> ok

[09:27] <fabbione> doko: that's the reason why i think we should fake the version in binutils
[09:27] <fabbione> parsing cvs snapshots date will make that check way too compilcated
[09:29] <doko> the strange thing is that the cvs checkout has 2.17.50, while the tarball produced by upstream has the date ...

[10:16] <doko> ok, now changing that to Ubuntu ...
[10:24] <fabbione> don't change Debian to ubuntu
[10:24] <fabbione> IIRC we did carry Debian all over and pkgs might rely on that
[10:40] <doko> the autotools tests rely only on the two first numbers, everything else is a string
[10:46] <fabbione> yeps
