I'm trying to compile GNU bash 4.3.30 on (and for) my iPad 2, iOS 8.4 using Clang, ld64, cctools, GNU make and the iOS 8.1 SDK. When processing bashversion, Clang is "unable to execute dsymutil", and reports that it "doesn't exist", exiting with error 1.
$ make
(...)
"/usr/bin/ld" -demangle -dynamic -arch armv7 -iphoneos_version_min 5.0.0 -syslibroot /var/mobile/iPhoneOS8.1.sdk -o bashversion -lcrt1.3.1.o -L./lib/termcap /var/tmp/bashversion-814fa1.o buildversion.o -lSystem
"dsymutil" -o bashversion.dSYM bashversion
clang: error: unable to execute command: Executable "dsymutil" doesn't exist!
clang: error: dsymutil command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [bashversion] Error 1
$ echo $CC
clang --sysroot /var/mobile/iPhoneOS8.1.sdk -v
$ clang --version

$ which dsymutil
$ dsymutil
-sh: dsymutil: command not found
$ find / -name dsymutil

Apparently, my iPad has no dsymutil. So, where can I find one? Does it come with Xcode? Or is there any way to compile GNU bash 4.3.30 without it?
Dsymutil is a closed source tool, and is not available for iOS.
But that's not much of a problem, just create a symlink to /bin/true,
i.e.
ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/dsymutil
