Commit Message

Alexey Brodkin Oct. 21, 2018, 6:18 p.m. UTC 
Some patches for Binutils seems to not be really needed.
Moreover for some of them I was not able to find any justification
for their introduction.

1. 0002-ld-makefile.patch

   This one I may track down to at least 2.15.92.0.2 here [1].
   Commit message just says: "Integrate some debian patches,
   extracted from binutils_2.15-4.diff"

   But in OpenEmbedded they got rid of it long ago on switch to 2.26, see [2].

2. 0003-check-ldrunpath-length.patch

   The same story here.

3. 0004-add-sysroot-fix-from-bug-3049.patch

   Bug mentioned in this patch was marked as "fixed" in 2012, see [3].

Those patches are annoying while bumping the binutils version, I never figured
out why there are in Buildroot.
