Summary: Wine doesn't build with binutils-gold Product: Wine Version: 1.1.21 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Keywords: download Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
gold is a new replacement for ld which is much faster (doesn't matter too much for wine, but it helps some apps a lot).
Installing gold as the system linker, e.g. by installing binutils-gold in Ubuntu Koala, and then building wine, fails with
/usr/bin/ld: -init: unknown option
Presumably this is gold's fault, but it'd be nice to have confirmation.
