Updated single patch file for binutils 2.40 AmigaOS4

[migthymax]

I have no idea if I correctly created the patch file. What makes me somehow suspicious is that in the patch file for every commit at the end the line 2.43.0 appears, no idea where it comes from!

To build a native binutils (without working gdb), it is recommended to use the docker image walkero/amigagccondocker:os4-gcc11 and within that running container performing the following steps as user amidev:

mkdir native-build
cd mkdir native-build
CFLAGS="-mcrt=clib4 -Wno-sign-compare -gstabs -fno-omit-frame-pointer -lpthread -athread=native" CXXFLAGS="-mcrt=clib4 -Wno-sign-compare -gstabs -fno-omit-frame-pointer -lpthread -athread=native" ../configure --disable-gdb --disable-plugins --disable-sim --disable-nls --host=ppc-amigaos --target=ppc-amigaos --prefix=/opt/code/dist

Make sure that the /opt/code/distexits, or adjust it to your needs!

Oh an by the way it needs clib4 at least version 2.0

I am not sure the patch was created properly. There are a lot of changes.
Is it possible to leave the first patch as it was and create a second one with your latest changes?

[walkero-gr]

Your patch have multiple places where similar sections exist. This is not right. This should exist only one time in every diff. Did you use the gild to create the patch?

[migthymax]

No I didn't use glid, I used git to export all commits added an the branch as patches, like thgis:

git format-patch --stdout <start>^..<branch-or-end> > <patch-file>

[walkero-gr]

I am afraid that this is not going to work. All the patches need to be created with gild.
I can help you with that if you like, and create a new patch that contains only the changes for the native version.

[migthymax]

If using glid isn't that complicated, maybe write here short instruction how to use it for creating the patch files. So as to have here a sort documentation for it?

[walkero-gr]

Sure. What you do is

1. you make the code changes in the binutils/repo folder
2. Then create a COMMIT for the changes, without pushing it. So you use git add . and git commit -m "write a useful message here"
3. You come out of the binutils repo, cd ..
4. and then you run gild genpatch binutils 2.40

The patch is auto-generated for you
What gild also does is modify all the previous patches too
Then you need to commit and push all the amendments made by gild's genpatch in the adtools repository
