Re: Bug#790560: udev fails to start on sparc boot, breaking boot

Without the kernel fix the system just won't run stable.

The bug in binutils is not that dramatic: the default linker is bfd,
which works just fine.
Only builds of the programs that are explicitly configured to use the
gold linker are broken.
And I think udev is the only one which is necessary for the minimal install.

Sounds fair enough. In any case, I have a running installation which I can add more cores/memory to whenever it would be usable. So just let me know.
