Hi @ChinYikMing,

I think the commit f4187bd is not yet included in any stable release of Buildroot,
Since we are using the release of 2023.11.x, we will not able to select the version 2.42.

I have tested with the following releases, which make menuconfig will downgrade binutils to a nearest feasible version of the release:

git clone https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot -b 2023.11.x
git clone https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot -b 2024.02.x

On the other hand, the up-stream release does provide option for enabling binutils version 2.42:

git clone https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot

Thanks for pointing out. I could recall that I was using the upstream version of buildroot. The 2024.02.x branch seems like downgrade to binutils 2.41. Maybe we shall revert this commit, then stick with the 2024.02.x branch and bump to binutil 2.41.

You can simply submit a pull request to upgrade the build script for the latest buildroot stable branch (i.e., 2024.02.x).
