[003] Troubleshooting ________________________________________________________________________________ --[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 [005] References ________________________________________________________________________________ [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Binutils
