Re: RFC: Annotate immediates in x86 disassembly
Jan Beulich reports a failure in the binutils testsuite when running the ‘annotate immediates in x86 disassembly’ patch with RUNTESTFLAGS=x86-64. The test fails due to a missing global variable “exe”. He notes that he doesn’t know how to address this issue.
