Description Zoltan Boszormenyi 2014-04-14 09:34:55 UTC 
Description of problem:

One of my development machines has Fedora 21 Rawhide and building OpenEmbedded/Yocto on it failed at binutils 2.24. The problem is not with OE/Yocto, it's a bug in a macro in binutils uncovered by the recent introduction of GCC 4.9 into Rawhide. The new GCC has enabled -Wunused-value for -Wall and together with -Werror, it's turned into a compilation error. The last lines of the compiler output (from rpmbuild --rebuild binutils-2.24-11.fc21.src.rpm) is:

subsegs.c: In function 'subseg_change':
subsegs.c:70:37: error: right-hand operand of comma expression has no effect [-Werror=unused-value]
       bfd_set_section_userdata (stdoutput, seg, seginfo);

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

$ rpm -q gcc
gcc-4.9.0-0.10.fc21.x86_64

The version of binutils is at
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=507201

How reproducible:

Obviously always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 21 Rawhide with GCC 4.9
2. Try to rebuild binutils from the koji link.
3.

Actual results:

Compiler error.

Expected results:

Package should be built properly.

Fix compilation error with GCC 4.9.0

This patch fixes the compilation error.
Comment 2 Zoltan Boszormenyi 2014-04-14 10:29:56 UTC 
Although the patch fixes building binutils, GCC 4.9.0 causes regressions in the binutils checks. Here are the dejagnu headers and summaries as seen in the terminal.

Comment 3 Nick Clifton 2014-04-22 11:29:24 UTC 
Hi Zoltan,

  Thanks for the bug report.  I have imported that fix from the FSF mainline sources which uses inline functions rather than macros.  This is now in the binutils-2.24-12.fc21 release.

  As for the 4.9 induced regressions, I will have to spend some more time investigating them.

Cheers
  Nick
