We have encountered the same issue.
Is there a temporary/quick workaround on cross 0.2.5 ?

[Emilgardis]

Does it work if you specify

#Cross.toml
[target.x86_64-unknown-illumos]
image = "ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-unknown-illumos:main"

[ahqsoftwares]

Actually we're using cross from the github repo by compiling it, so I doubt it'll help

[ahqsoftwares]

this is the version of binutils in cross-rs/cross

You can pin ring to 0.17.12 for now

@Emilgardis Can we safely expect that upgrading binutils in the current dockerfile will not affect existing projects?

[Emilgardis]

it would affect other projects, but that's unavoidable. Feel free to make a pr to bump the version

hey @Emilgardis I encountered same issue with ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:0.2.5 image, will binutils be bumped for those too? thank you!

[Emilgardis]

@grandizzy No, the 0.2.5 image won't be updated. binutils should be versioned high enough on :main though

[VorpalBlade]

This doesn't only affect illumos but also plain old x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Would perhaps be good to change the labels.

x86_64-unknown-linux-musl is not affected though.

[grandizzy]

@grandizzy No, the 0.2.5 image won't be updated. binutils should be versioned high enough on :main though

thank you. Are there plans to do a new release? We're using https://github.com/taiki-e/install-action gh action to install and it gets the latest one which is 0.2.5.

[Emilgardis]

@grandizzy Please see #1290 about the current situation. I would love to make a release.

Would perhaps be good to change the labels.

If it doesn't work on ghcr.io/cross-rs/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu:main then yes I'd agree @VorpalBlade, but I suspect it does work, haven't checked myself though

[VorpalBlade]

Ah yes, it does work with :main, but since that isn't default, that is still a workaround that needs to be done.
