20110911:
binutils and
gdb have recently renamed their tarballs due to a
GPL compliance issue, and the old tarballs are now missing. The binutils guys were kind enough to provide
legacy symlinks so that scripts using the old versions continue to work; the issue has been reported (
here and
here) to gdb as well. This means that crosstool-NG releasses so far choke when trying to download gdb. A fix to crosstool-NG to use the new versions is coming soon, but in the meantime, you'll have to manually
download the gdb tarballs, and rename it to the old names.
