You must use GNU @code{binutils} (as and ld) if you want to build a shared
library. Even if you don't want to build a shared library, we recommend
you use them anyway. No one has tested compilation with non-GNU
@code{binutils} in a long time.
The quality of @code{binutils} releases has varied a bit recently. The
bugs are in obscure features, but glibc uses quite a few of those. 2.10.1
and later releases are known to work. Versions after 2.8.1.0.23 may or
may not work. Older versions definitely don't.
For PPC you might need some patches even on top of the last
@code{binutils} version. See the FAQ.
You must use GNU @code{binutils} (as and ld) to build the GNU C library.
No other assembler and linker has the necessary functionality in the
moment.
