Binutils 2.23 was released in 2012. Almost 10 years old.
We already require GCC 5.1, released in 2015.
Bump the binutils version to 2.25, which was released one year before
GCC 5.1.
With this applied, some subsystems can start to clean up code.
Examples:
arch/arm/Kconfig.assembler
arch/mips/vdso/Kconfig
arch/powerpc/Makefile
arch/x86/Kconfig.assembler

Indeed, it looks like 2.25 is from 2014. https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> > > Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> > --- > > Documentation/process/changes.rst | 4 ++-- > scripts/min-tool-version.sh | 2 +- > 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/Documentation/process/changes.rst b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > index 9844ca3a71a6..ef540865ad22 100644 > --- a/Documentation/process/changes.rst > +++ b/Documentation/process/changes.rst > @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ Rust (optional) 1.62.0 rustc --version > bindgen (optional) 0.56.0 bindgen --version > GNU make 3.82 make --version > bash 4.2 bash --version > -binutils 2.23 ld -v > +binutils 2.25 ld -v > flex 2.5.35 flex --version > bison 2.0 bison --version > pahole 1.16 pahole --version > @@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ Bash 4.2 or newer is needed. > Binutils > -------- > > -Binutils 2.23 or newer is needed to build the kernel. > +Binutils 2.25 or newer is needed to build the kernel. > > pkg-config > ---------- > diff --git a/scripts/min-tool-version.sh b/scripts/min-tool-version.sh > index 8766e248ffbb..4e5b45d9b526 100755 > --- a/scripts/min-tool-version.sh > +++ b/scripts/min-tool-version.sh > @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ fi > > case "$1" in > binutils) > - echo 2.23.0 > + echo 2.25.0 > ;; > gcc) > echo 5.1.0 > -- > 2.34.1 > -- Thanks, ~Nick Desaulniers
