Re: Problem with cross compiling Gold linker


First of all, I'd suggest working from more recent sources.
Binutils-2.23 is fairly old now.

Gold's configure script looks for available implementations of
std::unordered_map or std::tr1::unordered_map before it settles on
using __gnu_cxx::hash_map (from ext/hash_map). If you're getting
deprecation warnings from ext/hash_map, then it should have found one
of the others to use instead. Check your config.log to see why those
configure checks failed.

The struct iovec problem shouldn't be happening if your runtime
defines readv(). Check your config.log to see why HAVE_READV didn't
get defined. (I don't remember the timing of binutils-2.23, but there
was a bug related to HAVE_READV that was fixed in 2010.)
