#2520 closed defect (fixed)

RTEMS 4.10 cannot be built with modern texinfo (includes a fix)

Description

Using the rtems source builder to build RTEMS 4.10 on a debian-7 linux system fails since some of the texinfo files in binutils, gcc and gdb are invalid for texinfo. This applies at least for texinfo version 6.0. This Report also contains git patches for the ​git://git.rtems.org/rtems-tools.git repository to fix the problems.

Could somebody with write permissions please add these ("git apply [patchfile]") ?

I have also patches in order for the RTEMS source builder to use this but will add this with a different track report.

Bugfix: binutils-2.20.1 couldn't be build with a modern texinfo package.

The texinfo documentation of binutils contained some constructs that are
errors, at least for a modern version of texinfo (version 6.0 and newer). This
meant that binutils-2.20.1 couldn't be build e.g. on fedora-22.

A patch file was added to fix the problematic parts of the documentation.

Update #2520.
