During kernel compile ld(1) is unable to find /usr/lib/binutils/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts
I was able to compile my current kernel without problems prior to changing to gcc 4.1.1 and rebuilding world with the -e flag, so I have a bad feeling something was altered to make this error occur. To get through the compile I created a link within /usr/src/linux like so: ln -s /usr/lib/binutils/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/2.16.1/ldscripts . However, even with the working .config that is running on my machine or the default ip32 config, I can't get this newly compiled kernel to work. It just hangs or does even load. Here is the original error: nano linux # make vmlinux.32 modules modules_install CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-unknown-linux-gnu- CHK include/linux/version.h SPLIT include/linux/autoconf.h -> include/config/* CC arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.s GEN include/asm-mips/asm-offsets.h CC scripts/mod/empty.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig MKELF scripts/mod/elfconfig.h HOSTCC scripts/mod/file2alias.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/modpost.o HOSTCC scripts/mod/sumversion.o HOSTLD scripts/mod/modpost HOSTCC scripts/pnmtologo HOSTCC scripts/conmakehash HOSTCC scripts/bin2c CC init/main.o CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o CC init/do_mounts.o LD init/mounts.o mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: cannot open linker script file ldscripts/elf64btsmip.xr: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [init/mounts.o] Error 1 make: *** [init] Error 2 Here is some system information that I hope will assist someone in pointing me at any mistakes I might have made: [ebuild R ] sys-devel/binutils-2.16.1-r3 USE="-multislot -multitarget -nls -test -vanilla" 12,368 kB [ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-4.1.1 USE="(-altivec) -bootstrap -build -doc -fortran -gcj -gtk (-hardened) -ip28 -ip32r10k -mudflap (-multilib) -multislot (-n32) (-n64) -nls -nocxx -objc -objc++ -objc-gc -test -vanilla" 38,303 kB nano linux # gcc-config -l [1] mips-unknown-linux-gnu-4.1.1 * [2] mips64-unknown-linux-gnu-4.1.1 * -- Michael D.
