Since m68k is not part of Debian anymore, it's not even in unstable anymore, this obviously can't be a serious bug (for Debian). As far as I know, it never even built properly on m68k. I've added some minimal m68k support, but the last build on m68k still failed to pass the regression tests. I have to wonder why you get that error message in the first place. bswap_32 is normally implemented as a macro. So I'd have to guess that the macro you're using is not doing the right thing and first copy it to a temp variable like other implementations do. It should be doing this, since from a user point of view it should react like a normal function call. I suggest you try and fix that instead. I also wonder why you need elfutils to build a kernel. As far as I know all the tools in elfutils are also part of binutils, and you probably want to use those instead. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
