process.c Assembler Message Error: unsupported relocation type

[Iain Young]

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can tell me I have made a silly mistake here.

I am attempting to cross compile .2.4.7pre9 from a SPARC to a 403 board.

Both the toolchain, and gcc compiled with no problems, and the kernel
gets most of the way there. It stops at arch/ppc/kernel/process.c,
with the following output from make:

make CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4-sparc/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -D__powerpc__ -fsigned-char -msoft-float -pipe -ffixed-r2 -Wno-uninitialized -mmultiple -mstring -mcpu=403 " -C  arch/ppc/kernel

powerpc-linux-gcc -v reports:

Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)


while powerpc-linux-as -v reports:

GNU assembler version 2.10.91 (powerpc-linux) using BFD version 2.10.91.0.2


My question is have I been silly, and got a compiler/toolchain mismatch ?
(I was under the impression these were particular versions were OK
together)

Or is this a known issue ? Or something that has just turned up in 2.4.7pre ?
(Although I noticed that aarch/ppc/kernel/process.c doesnt seem to have
been changed in a while.

Any help/assistance would be most gratefully recieved. It is frustrating
to be so close, yet so far.


All the Best

Iain
