ppc64 drivers???

[Raghava Vatsavayi]

Hi,

Our linux version is

BigBlue:# uname -a
Linux BigBlue 2.4.19-ul1-ppc64-SMP #1 SMP Wed Dec 4
18:41:23 UTC 2002 ppc64 unknown


I have mainly two concerns:
1) When I build my driver it is turning up as 32 bit
version as shown below.

file s2io.o
s2io.o: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable, PowerPC or cisco
4500, version 1 (SYSV), not
 stripped

I never had this problem when I compiled the driver on
other 64 bit machines like IA64.
I never gave extra options to gcc for IA64. But in
ppc64, is it that I should give
additional options to gcc specifying that target is
64bit ??

2) /usr/src/linux/include asm points to
/usr/src/linux/include/asm-ppc. But I think it
should point to /usr/src/linux/include/asm-ppc64. So I
changed the link so that it points
to /usr/src/linux/include/asm-ppc64. After this change
I ran into lots of compilation
errors as shown below(only few of the error messages
are shown). So is it ok if it points to asm-ppc
instead of asm-ppc64????
