Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [dreimer] 36968: ok, Binutils and ccache reverted.

I have to disagree with this binutils revert.
If we aren't prepared to keep our tools up to date, then we'll have to resort to
dropping RosBE and updating our tools manually.
Build tools should _always_ be kept up to date.

Indeed, what's the point of staying old? This way we can drop further  
GCC  compatibility too (because current GCC "works enough").

Being ready before final release is even better, provided Daniel  
tested it (and he said he tested it for 3 months in every day use - I  
think this is quite enough).


WBR,
Aleksey.

Don't lump GCC and Binutils together.

The fact is, the Binutils version we're using since RosBE 1.0 is already
newer than the latest official version from GNU while we're 2 major and X
minor releases behind in terms of GCC.

Besides, our version from RosBE 1.0 is properly patched as I already
explained in my previous post. (read it for more details)
The version Daniel was suggesting for RosBE 1.3 is just the latest preview
from MinGW, which of course doesn't have our patch integrated. Furthermore,
it would have been just 3 months newer and there's not that much work going
on in the binutils tree.

Best regards,

Colin

I fully agree, but i did not manage yet to build my own binutils in 
which i can include the patch, Colin wants included. This one was from 
MinGW and not made by me. If I manage to build binutils, I will use 
these ones.
