From eeb14e5a5b378450ca2ed139e76f317f491f4613 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linda Zhang Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:18:39 +0100 Subject: Change the default behaviour of the PE targeted linker so that timestamps are inserted. This is for compatibility with other, non-GNU tools. Deterministic binaries can still be created by using the new --no-insert-timestamp command line option. * emultempl/pe.em: Initialise insert_timestamp to true. Add a --no-insert-timestamp command line option. * emultempl/pep.em: Likewise. * ld.texinfo: Document that --insert-timestamp is enabled by default and that it now has an inverse command line option. * NEWS: Mention the new behaviour. --- ld/ChangeLog | 9 +++++++++ ld/NEWS | 4 ++++ ld/emultempl/pe.em | 11 ++++++++--- ld/emultempl/pep.em | 9 +++++++-- ld/ld.texinfo | 12 +++++++++--- 5 files changed, 37 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'ld') diff --git a/ld/ChangeLog b/ld/ChangeLog index 5a1fe27..f42d00b 100644 --- a/ld/ChangeLog +++ b/ld/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2014-06-26 Linda Zhang + + * emultempl/pe.em: Initialise insert_timestamp to true. + Add a --no-insert-timestamp command line option. + * emultempl/pep.em: Likewise. + * ld.texinfo: Document that --insert-timestamp is enabled by + default and that it now has an inverse command line option. + * NEWS: Mention the new behaviour. + 2014-06-25 Nick Clifton * Makefile.am (ALL_EMULATION_SOURCES): Move ei386pep.c from diff --git a/ld/NEWS b/ld/NEWS index 344f98d..a8b4ab4 100644 --- a/ld/NEWS +++ b/ld/NEWS @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ -*- text -*- +* PE binaries now once again contain real timestamps by default.
