[Cbe-oss-dev] ps3-kexec-tools (latest git update) compiling problems (on PS3)

[Goffredo Marocchi]

I cleaned up the directory I cloned the git repo in question and then I 
cloned it again:


[root at IGGS-PS3 src]# git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geoff/ps3-kexec-tools.git 
ps3-kexec

I usually only needed to run autoconf  and then ./configure 
--prefix=/usr   but if I do just that I get an error (about 
include/config.h):

If I run autoheader (and why not autoconf again although it makes no 
difference I'd think) and then ./configure --prefix=/usr then it 
successfully completes.

A good make clean, followed by a make all brings this error though:
gcc -melf64ppc --no-undefined -nostartfiles -nostdlib -nodefaultlibs -e 
purgatory_start -r -o purgatory/purgatory.ro purgatory/purgatory.o

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [purgatory/purgatory.ro] Error 1


Is there something I am missing that is causing both errors ?
