How do I find which version of gcc corressponds to which version of binutils?

Question

Exactly as the question sounds.

If there isn't a generic way to answer this question for any given version pair, can someone at least answer the specific question of whether gcc 3.4.6 and ld 2.15.92.0.2 correspond to each other?

Thanks.

I'm looking at the questions :-

Help with linker failer: .gnu.linkonce.t

Please explain this linking error: referenced in section .rodata

The error I'm getting is exactly the same as the askers of those questions.

Answer 1

They're separate projects with separate release schedules, so there's no single answer to your question. The interface between them are things like the ELF, .a library and .o object file formats, which are well specified, so outside of fancy new features there's really no reason for them to be developed in tandem.

Is there a specific question you're trying to answer? Like "what binutils version should I use?" or "What gcc/binutils versions shipped with Fedora 15?"
