Empty Man pages for Binutils 2.37 #58

Closed dslm4515 closed 2 years ago

dslm4515 commented 2 years ago

Man pages generated for binutils are empty files. Issue was not known until using pkgtools (makepkg) :

Tested on an older MLFS system with GCC-8.2.0... same issue when building binutild 2.37.

I noticed in binutils-2.37/binutils/doc that ar.1 and nm.1 are empty.

binutils 2.36.0 source does NOT have empty files for those man pages

git cloning https://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb does not have this issue of empty man pages

Fixed in commit 997317cf5c0ad78df7f33fdae3168f75487d1041
