Actually I hadn't!

How do I do that?  I'm sure there's a way.

Looking at our ".travis.yml" (https://github.com/SDL-Hercules-390/hyperion/blob/master/.travis.yml), it appears the two configurations experiencing the problem are the only two that are installing addons:


    - name: "Ub 14.04 -- gcc 6.5.0"
      dist: trusty
      addons:
        apt:
          sources:  ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
          packages: g++-6
      env: MATRIX_EVAL="CC=gcc-6"


    - name: "Ub 14.04 -- gcc 7.4.0"
      dist: trusty
      addons:
        apt:
          sources:  ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
          packages: g++-7
      env: MATRIX_EVAL="CC=gcc-7"


I'm guessing it's the installation(?) of "ubuntu-toolchain-r-test" that is causing the bad version of binutils to get installed?

So what do I need to change/add to fix the problem?  What do I need to do to request Travis to install a newer version of binutils for those two configurations?

HELP!  :(

Indeed.  That's the weird part.


Anyway, I want to thank you Patrick for trying to help.  I really appreciate that.  I just wish I knew what to do to fix the problem!  :(
