RHBA-2012:0286 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

A new binutils220 package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The binutils220 package provides an assembler and disassembler which understand
the specific instructions for the AMD FX processor microarchitecture (Bulldozer)
used by the gcc44 compiler for the preview of GCC version 4.4. The gcc44
compiler on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 can issue Bulldozer specific instructions
that can not be handled by the system assembler.

This enhancement update adds the binutils220 package to Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5. (BZ#669190)

All users who require the gcc44 compiler are advised to install this new
package.
