I came across this problem today while building a 2.4.12 kernel. sparc64-linux-ld isn't needed if your GAS toolset is up-to-date. The kernel makefile checks for this- but doesn't do it correctly. I fixed the problem by changing arch/sparc64/Makefile thusly: line 18: - NEW_GAS := $(shell if $(LD) --version 2>&1 (blah blah blah) + NEW_GAS := $(shell if $(LD) -V 2>&1 (blah blah blah) (I apologize for the broken threading- I'm just now subscribing to the list) -- paul cannon [EMAIL PROTECTED] space software lab http://ssl.usu.edu/paul/ utah state university OpenNIC: http://paul.geek/ sparc newcomer info: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
