Hi, everybody.
I have a little problem when compiling new kernels.
Kernel 2.2.18-pre15 compiles fine under gcc-2.95.2. It is just plain
2.2.17 with Alan's patch to 18-pre15.
I downloaded the gcc-2.96 rpms from rufus, and the compilation process
breaks at:
werewolf:/usr/src/linux# make bzImage
..
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/arch/i386/lib'
cc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__ -D__SMP__
-traditional -c checksum.S -o checksum.o
checksum.S:231: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
checksum.S:237: badly punctuated parameter list in #define
make[2]: *** [checksum.o] Echecksum.Srror 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/arch/i386/lib'
make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/arch/i386/lib'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/lib] Error 2
The actual code in checksum.S that breaks 2.96 is:
#define SRC(y...) \
9999: y ; \
.section __ex_table, "a" ; \
.long 9999b, 6001f ; \
.previous
#define DST(y...) \
9999: y ; \
.section __ex_table, "a" ; \
.long 9999b, 6002f ; \
.previous
I suppose the var-args macro syntax is less permissive in 2.96...
Then, because this versions of gcc are "not officially supposed to work",
got the egcs rpms (only egcs and egcs-cpp; BTW, kgcc didn't work,
cpp was named 'cpp' instead of 'cpp0' in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux/egcs-2.91.66,
and -traditional flag looked for tradcpp0, which I symlinked to cpp0).
But then kgcc stops at:
werewolf:/usr/src/linux# make bzImage
..
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/arch/i386/kernel'
/usr/bin/kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -D__ASSEMBLY__
-D__SMP__ -traditional -c trampoline.S -o trampoline.o
/tmp/ccy1Wjci.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccy1Wjci.s:884: Error: can't handle non absolute segment in `ljmp'
make[1]: *** [trampoline.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.18-pre15/arch/i386/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2
TIA, and sorry for the 'long long' message...
(I will post this also in lkml...)
