[binutils] Error: peigen.c:676:34: error: invalid suffix "ch0000" on integer constant

[Sedat Dilek]

Hi,

I was compiling latest binutils-2.20.51 (08-Nov-2009) on a Debian/sid
32-bit host and my build is broken.

From the build-log:
...
mv -f .deps/pei-i386.Tpo .deps/pei-i386.Plo
rm -f peigen.c
sed -e s/XX/pe/g < ../../bfd/peXXigen.c > peigen.new
mv -f peigen.new peigen.c
/bin/bash ./libtool --tag=CC   --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

Below, I have some additional informations to my build-environment.
Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

What does your build directory bfd/bfdver.h file contain?

$ cd ~/src/binutils/binutils-2.20.51.20091108

Oops :-)
#define BFD_VERSION 220ch0000 <--- faulty one
#define BFD_VERSION 220510000

You get to fix it then, since it looks like you broke it by modifying
the bfd version.  (If it wasn't you, then notify the people who
provided you with binutils source.)
