Assembler messages: no such instruction: 'endbr64' when compiling C – GCC 9.3.0, Ubuntu 20.04 – Debian

I’m trying to compile a hello world program in C using gcc

I’m using gcc 9.3.0 & ubuntu 20.04

this is my c program ‘hello.c’

#include<stdio.h>

int main() {

        printf("Hello Worldn");

        return 0;
}

When I compile gcc hello.c it gives me the error

/tmp/cc55wg43.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc55wg43.s:12: Error: no such instruction: `endbr64'

EDITED:

I have tried installing a cross-compiler. For that I have installed the following packages
bison, flex, libgmp3-dev, libmpc-dev, libmpfr-dev, texinfo
and I have followed this! instructions

Appending the output from gcc -v hello.c

Using built-in specs.

    The issue was mentioned by @AnttiHaapala: By the instructions ask you to set the prefix to /usr/local/i386elfgcc - maybe you've accidentally dropped this out from the binutils config and installed binutils in /usr/bin instead

    The solution was uninstalling the binutils and install it again

    • sudo apt-get remove binutils

      sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove binutils

      sudo apt install build-essential

    Now the binutils version is 2.34, earlier it was 2.24


  2. 0

    Perhaps your situation is the same as mine: you accidentally installed a lower version of ld and did not delete it cleanly. The solution is to delete the old as, such as rm /usr/local/as
