Re: [PATCH 1/4] binutils: Update to 2.36.1

[Michael Tremer <michael.tremer@ipfire.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 13081 bytes --]

Hello,

Well put. Changing any of the toolchain packages will also change our ABI which *will* break programs.

So it is not only a question of whether we want to do it, we also could not go back after changing them.

We would also want to take advantage of the new features but that requires lots of testing which Arne and I have been conducting with LTO. If I had some more time, I would tell you more about it :)

Best,
-Michael
