--[004] Manual Pages Empty -----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The latest binutils has a bug in its build system where manual pages are
|
||
|
|
truncated and end up empty. A patch must be applied and they must be
|
||
|
|
regenerated. To do so, install perl and run 'kiss b binutils'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This workaround should not be needed as of next release. This is a temporary
|
||
|
|
measure to ensure documentation remains available to those wanting it
