Compiling 2.4.18 for Motorola MBX board

[Ed Brady]

Hello,

I am trying to cross compile the latest 2.4.18 kernel to run on an MBX board
(MPC 860).  However, I consistently run into problems whenever the final
link is performed.    See error text below....

This code is comprised of the following:

linux 2.4.18 kernel from kernel.org with the ppc-patch-2.4.18 applied.

I have not tried cross compiling the kernel without the ppc patch applied.

The compiler is the gcc packaged build to cross-compile on an i386 linux
host with a target of powerpc-unknown-eabi.

Note:  This is the first time that I have attempted to cross-compile a
kernel for an embedded target, so if this is caused by a bone-headed
mistake, please be kind :)

Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated...
