The "invalid symbolsrec file" issue (error from makelx) issue is now fixed
in binutils CVS, both on the trunk, and on the 2.13 branch - so the next
release of binutils, be it 2.13.2 or 2.14 will have this fixed.
The "ld segmentation fault" issue is rather more tricky, and will require
the attention of a binutils COFF guru, but this patch to Makefile.user works
around it:
NB: Yes, I am overriding "OUTPUT_FORMAT(symbolsrec)" from brickOS.lds
with --oformat coff-h8300. You may choose to change genlds instead if you
like. It mainly depends on whether you this is treated as a temporary (but
probably long term) workaround, or a permanent change.
PS: The cause of the "ld segfault" issue is a buffer overrun which actually
existed way before binutils-2.13, its just it only started to hit memory
which was later used by the memory manager in binutils-2.13
Max.

| (...) What's the change? Has the symbolsrec format reverted to the one used before? (...) Why a COFF guru? To understand the h8300-coff format? Sorry if these are stupid questions. Just curious. (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
