I updated the change log slightly: powerpc/vmlinux.lds: Drop binutils < 2.18 workarounds Segher added some workarounds for binutils < 2.18 and GCC < 4.2. We now set GCC 4.6 and binutils 2.20 as the minimum, so the workarounds can be dropped. This is mostly a revert of c69cccc95fe4 ("powerpc: Fix build bug with binutils < 2.18 and GCC < 4.2"). cheers
