Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: mingw64-*-binutils-2.24.0.1.acd6540-1 (x86/x86_64)

The latest mingw64-binutils is broken for me:

$ echo 'main() { }' > a.c; /bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc  a.c
/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find default-manifest.o

$ echo 'main() { }' > a.c; /bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -m32 a.c
/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld: cannot find default-manifest.o

Please try again without the /bin/ prefix.

Looks like it's not searching for the default-manifest.o in the correct
include paths.

The mingw file resides in
/usr/{x86_64,i686}-w64-mingw32/lib/

Maybe it should be in
/usr/{x86_64,i686}-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/

The location is not the problem here.

But the weird thing is that all those scripts in the ldscripts directory
specify
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib");
so I'm not sure why this fails.

But when linking with gcc it should be moot.

I'm also experiencing the problems mentioned in the following thread:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-04/msg00016.html

In my case compiling putty/kitty from source using the latest binutils
results in a broken "About" button. Clicking it simply does nothing, no
about dialog appears at all.

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16807

Is there a way to disable that whole default-manifest.o thing for now
without having to roll back to an older version of binutils?

No, you may have to roll back for now.
