Problems building binutils-000220 snapshot

[greyham at research dot canon dot com dot au (Graham Stoney)]

Hi folks,

I'm having trouble building the latest binutils snapshot (000220) on x86
Red Hat Linux 6.1, with gcc-2.95.2. I've got it configured like:

% ../../binutils-000220/configure --enable-shared --enable-targets=all

The build fails on elf32-hppa.c, with:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../binutils-000220/bfd -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTRAD_
CORE -I. -I../../../binutils-000220/bfd -I../../../binutils-000220/bfd/../includ
e -I../../../binutils-000220/bfd/../intl -I../intl -g -O2 -W -Wall -c  -fPIC -DP
IC ../../../binutils-000220/bfd/elf32-hppa.c -o .libs/elf32-hppa.lo
In file included from ../../../binutils-000220/bfd/elf32-hppa.c:35:

Sure enough, elf-hppa.h:838 refers to the struct elf64_hppa_link_hash_table,
which isn't defined anywhere. Also, the warning about line 837 (and other
similar lines) look like bugs to me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Graham
