Closed uyjulian closed 9 years ago

This gcc/binutils update will break old code (for example, l-value assignments are used a lot in ps2sdk) Don't merge yet!

Other than that, I'm quite sure that import and export table generation will be broken too. When I got GCC 4.92 and Binutils 2.24 to support the IOP, I had to use the -fno-toplevel-reorder option to prevent bits of the import tables from being reordered. Those variables within the import and export tables that are tagged with the "unused" attribute had to be changed to "used", in order to ensure that GCC will not remove them.

I'll fix the old code in ps2sdk and send a pull request to there.

I'll close this pull request while I'm working on a GCC 5.1 patch.
