Could you be bit more specific? I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I was convinced that this was dealt with automatically by egcs64. All the compilation lines output during the kernel build start with something like sparc64-linux-gcc -D_KERNEL.... When I look for the egcs64 compiler binary I find a chain of symlinks, but there is nothing wrong in that, I presume: sol:~# ls -l /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jun 4 17:35 /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc -> /etc/alternatives/sparc64-linux-gcc sol:~# ls -l /etc/alternatives/sparc64-linux-gcc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jun 4 17:51 /etc/alternatives/sparc64-linux-gcc -> /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc.egcs64 sol:~# ls -l /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc.egcs64 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 74944 Jan 4 2001 /usr/bin/sparc64-linux-gcc.egcs64 As I said I load the /boot/config-2.4.18 as the config file. I assume that this was the one used making the Debian stock kernel. That's why I am pretty frustrated here: why doesn't it work for *me*? Thank you for your answer. I hope you will specify what you mean by your first comment. Best regards, David List
