            Bug ID: 23573
           Summary: "Too many open files" and binutils 2.31.1-1
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.31
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: mslomp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm getting "Too many open files" when building LLVM/clang (release_60 branch)
with the most recent version of binutils (2.31.1-1).
Running "ulimit -n 3200" did not help.
Downgrading to 2.30-2 solved the problem (without even needing to tweak the
limit, which defaults to 256).

PS: I stumbled upon this issue with MinGW, but apparently it is likely the case
for non-MinGW systems as well; see the original discussion thread below:
